Our Guides

After moving to Montana in 2001, Jordan Knudsen rapidly grew a passion for horses, mules and back country travel. After a few years of experience in self-taught techniques, he completed Smoke’s packing course in 2004.
Since then, not only did Jordan take the time to become proficient in the techniques of decker packing, but he also took it upon himself to improve the equipment he was working with. In 2006 he started a business, known as Sun River Saddlery, that was devoted to building equipment that carries on the traditions of decker packing and back country travel. In 2020 he founded Heart Bar K Enterprises, which absorbed Sun River Saddlery, a business devoted to providing support for many aspects of the Western lifestyle.
Jordan spends his fall season as a Licensed Backcountry Hunting Guide, contract packs through the summer season and enjoys as much personal and family time in the mountains as time allows.
