Shot on 8mm film in 1973, this vintage home movie captures a cowboy in a white shirt and cowboy hat strapping gear onto pack mules in the dense woods of Scapegoat Wilderness, Montana. The scene unfolds in a sun-dappled forest with tall pine trees, where a man tends to a dark mule and a brown-and-white mule loaded with white canvas packs. Another figure stands near a tent in the background, suggesting a camping trip. The footage exhibits natural film grain and slight camera movement, evoking a nostalgic, authentic slice of 1970s outdoor adventure.
