This summer has been full of backpacking adventures, and we’ve really put the Wolf Republic Ranger Pack through the ringer. Breezy can be quite rough on her gear, especially on backpacks, so I was excited to try this durable, slim fitting pack to help split the load on our weekend trips. We took this pack […]
It might be the beginning of the off season to us, but to dogs it’s always the on season. Try telling them you can’t get out because of the weather, or work… yeah, that won’t translate to dog, Redford included. Those of us who backpack will tell you lighter is better and if you don’t […]
Dogs love to have a job to do. Whether it’s chasing their tail, fetching a runaway ball or zooming after a squirrel, our canine friends love to be put to work. When given a job, many dogs switch gears from an unruly spaz into a focused and determined workaholic. One of the best ways to […]
As an avid hiker and backpacker, reducing the weight in my backpack is more than ideal, and having the option for Delilah to carry a few of her things (e.g. food, treats, poop bags) is great.

It’s time to put away those winter coats – summer is officially here! As we gear up for summer we started dusting off some of our gear that we haven’t seen since fall (looking at you life jackets). It got us thinking about what the best summer gear is so we asked a few folks […]
Hiking with your dog or hiking without your dog, is there even a choice? What about backpacking with your dog or backpacking without them? I thought so. If you’re like me and plan your outdoor activities based on whether or not your canine companion can come with then the thought of a pack for your […]
If you’re anything like us, the list of hikes and camping trips we have planned for this summer seems to be growing by the minute. With all the planned and recent time on the trails we were excited to test out the Ruffwear Singletrak Pack on our adventures and could not be more pleased with […]
When heading out to the dog park on a sunny afternoon you really see dogs of all shapes and sizes. From tiny Chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes, the dog world is filled with breeds with many different features. Dachshunds have short legs and long bodies, Sighthounds sport deep chests and some bully breeds […]
