On this episode, host Katy Starr chats with Mike Toberer, founder of Mountain Mule Packers and Mission Mules about:
 

• Unique differences between horses and mules on tough terrain
• The worst mistake new packers make and how to avoid it
• How their efforts in the Hurricane Helene response changed their purpose

From his early days navigating the Sierra Nevada Mountains to training elite military teams and delivering life-saving supplies after Hurricane Helene, Mike shares how mules do more than carry gear, they carry purpose.
