Mule packing is a tradition that allowed many individuals to move railroads or raw materials across the country into undeveloped areas. Packing also allows those who wish to camp in the wilderness past road accessibility to do so. Through Fresno State, club members will practice tying knots for the box and diamond hitches, balancing pack loads, and collaborating with their teammates to improve efficiency. The club is a great way to appreciate traditions, understand the value of natural resources, build workplace and life applicable skills, and stretch themselves.
