I was amazed on the number of things we covered.  The instructors at Swan Mountain Wilderness Guide School were top notch.  I went directly into a packer’s job, and I was prepared.  Another kid they hired came from another school, and he didn’t seem to have the confidence I did.  I’m glad we did that 28 mile round trip hay run at school; it was harder then what I did at my job.  It was cool actually learning and living an actual outfitter’s camp, I feel like I got the most real experience for my money.
