Started with the thought of a couple llamas. Up to eight now, never enough 👊 I've had back problems for 15 years and llamas have made it possible to keep getting in the backcountry.
Beau has an incredible back story that some don't know about. He is an amazing person and glad you had him on to share his story and passion. Thanks Mr. Call!
Very informative video! The horse track keeping is also called paddock paradise, fenced loops trails around the property/ fenced rotated grazing areas with hay nets, sand pits, water spots, scratch posts all placed throughout so they keep moving, it's shown to be so much better for them than being stalled More open areas for the stations, the thinner paths encourage faster movement
Been seeing more lamas on hunt vids, now I know why. Brian made a great point . You can replace $ not time. No body knows how long we're here. It only took me to 53 to understand why my granddad said I worked too much....living the dream for 10 yrs now. Stay Gritty
Awesome interview with Beau Baty .love him and his family and Llamas. Can't wait for the next interview with Beau.Glad you are being converted to Llamas .a great comfort and companion to have on a back Country trip . So much great information on this pod cast 🙂. When or have you and Ryan ever went on a hunting trip with Beau .So you get the full Beau Baty Wall tent treatment. Awesome 👍 so glad to see Beau looking good after his health issues. Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New year 💗 hope it's better then 22
Again a fantastic podcast with Beau. Great info on the use of llamas. Most importantly your choice in educating your children and preparing them for the future. Social media is ruining our children. We as parents need to be parents not the media with distorted information. Keep the faith and thanks for providing real content!
From Texas here. Just found your channel. Amazing content! Needless to say, I have binged watched about 30hrs of videos with my wife by my side without a single complaint. Our new favorite outdoor channel.
Pretty cool interview. I had no idea Beau was doing this with llamas until I started seeing him in videos. We grew up just a few miles from each other.
Great Episode. Bau seems like a great guy, I have followed him for a couple of years. I really hope to buy one of his tents some day. The last few minutes of the interview hit a nerve for me, I have spent over 40 years working my tail off to provide, pay bills and try and make my family comfortable, all that is noble but maybe I should have hunted and fished with them more. God bless you guys, you have the right idea.
BYU-I FTW! I remember going deer hunting and missing a college class or two, it was so cold my canteen froze solid hiking windy ridges in the snow. Great times, back when the season went later. Grew up with Beau and his siblings. He and my brother did a little hunting years ago before the Llamas. Glad to see him doing well in the hunting world. Seems like Llamas = glamping vs roughing it. I see a lot of Randy content using them to extend his hunting years with cozy tents and 3 course meals ;) Hopefully I'll be in shape enough and Beau will be in business to do the same. Keep up the great content!
Man! I can identify with those thoughts shared towards the end of this convo. I grew up in Salmon Id, lived all over, been to college 3 times and where do I find myself? Back in tiny Salmon ID living on a very modest income but loving my life because of where I live and all the hunting and outdoor pursuits I get to enjoy, sharing the upbringing I had with my kids and my wife. Thanks so much for giving some validation to my life choices, not that I need that, but it's great to know that you guys share those values!
Great topic here! Very informative and helpful! I love to see everyone happy and healthy here. Gritty content is awesome as always. Everyone needs a Beau Baty in their life!
Brian, I totally got your statement that for some it is more of a horse adventure than a hunting adventure. We had a ranch where we boarded horses when I was a kid. My dad and his friends were into hunting and fishing, but sometimes I did feel it was more about their cowboy lifestyle than hunting. And there was nothing wrong with that. There is definitely an allure to being out in the middle of nowhere just you and your horse. I do remember, while out training and field trialing bird dogs from horseback, how cool it would be to just ride across the country!
Wow, the last 10 minutes or so are so powerful! The llama stuff was cool, but that last 10 minutes should be cut and put into it's own video! I run a taxidermy shop and a couple years ago, I figured out the "time" thing....I've been cutting back on how much work I take in so I can enjoy my time and do things with my family, hunt, and all the other fun things in life that will just pass you by if you let it! Thanks for the podcast!
Brian great episode. I loved the last 20 minutes. I can totally relate to the Big 6 accounting job and allure it has at first then is slowly fades. I admire your commitment at what you do. I also served a mission, graduated from Boise State, and have worked in audit since. Now at 50 I’d love the leave it and do what you’re doing. Keep it up.
Wow, what a great podcast. Beau is the real expert and and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to llamas. I grew up with his dad and over the years, Beau and I have become real good friends. And I’m so glad that he was able to conquer his issue with cancer. He is a real fighter, and an amazing person. You and Brad did a really good job today and asked some really interesting questions. Never knew you were an accountant, or went on a mission to Japan, or packed with goats. Thanks for sharing. So do you own llamas? What about Ryan?
You guys are the bomb. Got to love Beau he is one bad son of a gun. Loved this podcast. I learned a bunch. Been around livestock my whole life and actually have a family business in Boer goats that my kids show. Might have to get a couple llamas. LOL. Keep bringing the good stuff.
Can’t wait to go on a llama hunt. When I think what is the American Dream it’s not money or the big house or fast car anybody can buy that or obtain. Only you can put your heart and soul into something that you love. Nobody can take that from you that’s the American Dream
This was a good one. The conversation at the end about Al Gore inventing the internet cracked me up. I’m in the old dude group too. Finished college when you still had to use the library. Thank God there were no cell phones documenting my youth. If I hit good draws for 2023 will have to think about llama rentals.
Seems like anyone I talk to doesn't understand Time is money. I myself quit social media because of the time it was taking away from my family. It's a better way of life in my opinion as well
Goats you have to pack no water for them as they pull their water from browse, no feed either. My goats on some trips go 3- 5 days before they will drink from a source. Goats also carry more weight pound for pound than any stock animal. Your goats must of been small! I have goats that carry 50 plus pounds with very little conditioning. I know of way to many guys with horror stories of llamas laying down on them. That will never happen with goats.
I have the exact opposite experience with goats. And so did my friends who owned goats. I was a member of a "pack goat club" and while some folks had a good group of goats, 8 out of 10 of the goats I encountered were nowhere near as capable as a string of llamas. In my experience, goats lay down, limp or just cannot carry heavy loads. While pack llamas have been bred for thousands of years to pack heavy loads. Llamas carry 80-100 lbs each for 10+ miles in a day--I've never met a goat that could carry more than 40 lbs for 5 miles in a day. And in my experience, unconditioned goats were nearly useless and only able to carry 20-25 lbs for 3 miles or so in a day. I used goats for years. I hung out with other pack goat owners. In the end, I got rid of them because they just weren't made for packing; although I enjoyed their companionship. I'm happy to hear that you're having the exact opposite experience. I really enjoyed my goats. But like I said, goats just quit on me, started limping, and couldn't carry more than 25 lbs for any great distances. My experience with Beau and Mark's llamas is night and day different--their llamas are unstoppable, badass, low maintenance, packing machines. I'd love to hear more about your goats though. What kind of goats? Where did you get them? How much do they weigh? etc. Thanks for sharing your insight. I like these conversations because we all get more informed this way. I will have to reconsider my position on goats--perhaps goats are more viable than I have concluded. Thanks again!
@@GrittyGearAndPodcast I never tried goats but I had two llama studs for over 10 years when I lived in eastern Idaho. The problem with them lying down in the trail happens when they are out of shape. I had a busy consulting job when I lived in Idaho and often didn't get my llamas out enough in the summer to keep them in top condition, and I occasionally had the lying-down problem (once or twice in bad places) when hunting. Unless you have time to get them out and work with them and keep them in shape you are better off renting. Beau was a friend and I can't say enough good about him, he and his wife are just all around great people. Although I didn't buy my animals from him, he frequently helped me with all sorts of things, and in the end he came up with a retirement option for my aging llamas and bought all my gear when I had to move back east. Wonderful people.
@@johnr6179 -- Thanks for your sharing your experience. I had the same experience with goats--my goats needed a TON of exercise to be capable of packing. I gotta say, renting llamas seems to be ideal. All my rental experiences have been AMAZING so for. And I don't have to feed, care, or exercise them the other 300 days of the year. I hope you're still getting out west!
Your right I don’t. I don’t believe they are created to be eaten. And I’m of the old cowboy school. They maybe useful and it sounds as if they are but, I couldn’t own one.
No, Mark owns his own llamas-we used his. However, Lampers and I have rented llamas from Beau about 6 or 7 times in 2021 and 2022. I was very skeptical about renting until I did it-it’s absolutely amazing.
Beau has a top notch organization. I haven’t listened to the podcast yet (no time yet) so I’m guessing he mentioned some training and classes needed to get familiar with them. I’ve used llamas for three seasons now and they are amazing animals but like anything you have to know their limitations and not overpack and injure them.

We need more Beau and family! Amazing content
Working on it! Thank you!

Very interesting conversation about social media and time. Thank you for the perspective! Rich in time!
The golden nugget/ trophy animal is the last 15 minutes. If you are a dad or someone trying to figure things out listen to the end of this podcast.

Have always had great respect for Beau. Great to see the success of a classy hard working guy.
Thanks for bringing him on Brian.
Really interesting. I have been using a mule the last few years and it definitely hasn’t been pleasant. Thanks for sharing guys.

Love Beau and what he’s done!
Can’t wait to actually draw a tag in an area where it’s feasible to rent some llamas from him.
Great podcast, I am really interested in this option of packing. Grew up with horses and all that, loved listening to you guys and your experiences.
Rex burg, that is the Ardent pest control headquarters. I worked for then for a little here in Knoxville.
I like the name Wilderness ridge trail lamas! Keep up the sharing of knowledge, thank you.

Ryan and I don’t own llamas yet, but we are hoping to change that soon.
Excellent information on llama care and fun to watch the interview. My daughter does not have social media accounts nor a phone. :)
Very informative. Time is valuable. I did not know all of this about Llamas. Would be fun to take a trip some time.
Excellent.. Thanks Brian, Brad.
You guys are the bomb. Got to love Beau he is one bad son of a gun. Loved this podcast. I learned a bunch. Been around livestock my whole life and actually have a family business in Boer goats that my kids show. Might have to get a couple llamas. LOL. Keep bringing the good stuff.
What a great a great informational video. I hope this new year will help me to get out and try it!
Great podcast guys. I appreciate the insight into all that goes on at #GRITTY. The personal side of the story makes #Gritty even better.
How bout 6 big GSDogs for packaging
@ryanscott I’ll donate one
Awesome interview good job gritty crew beau baty and his lamas are pretty cool
Great job as always!!!!
Now I want to try it!
I had no idea the Llamas made that alarm sounds (alien nation) vocals
Pretty great episode
Beau is a dang good dude !!!
Great information.

Dude, now we have to have Llama rodeo competitions. It has to happen.
Awesome stuff! 👌
This was a good one. The conversation at the end about Al Gore inventing the internet cracked me up. I’m in the old dude group too. Finished college when you still had to use the library. Thank God there were no cell phones documenting my youth. If I hit good draws for 2023 will have to think about llama rentals.
Great Podcast! Does Beau sell Llamas as well? I bought some acreage about 5 miles from Beau’s Ranch and have been considering having a few Llamas.
Yes he does. I would reach out to Beau if you are interested in purchasing llamas or swing by. They do not get any better.
What I want to know is if Beau has a llama named Tina or not? Yes, I just referenced Napoleon Dynamite. LOL Great show as always!
Haha I wouldn’t put it past him to have a Tina 😂
Thanx
@briancall did your guest rent you and mark livesay those llamas on your last episode?
Does Beau also sell llamas?
Beau also sells llamas. 👍🏼
get show guys, maybe to a show and tell on the Llamas, with a beastie as a show tool.
Seems like anyone I talk to doesn't understand Time is money. I myself quit social media because of the time it was taking away from my family. It's a better way of life in my opinion as well
Umm so much I could say .. but I won't .. lol
