hiking with dogs

[Sarcasm the elf]

if i was a hammock hanger that wanted to take my dog along, i would switch to a tent or tarpalways put your dogs needs in front of your needs and it could be a succesful hike. i think the dog needs to be closer to the human, than a hammock will allow. my dog slept outside the tent often, but during lightning she like to huddle a little closer, made her feel safer. just my 2cents

+1 to this. My dogs have always slept inside the tent with me, it keeps them comfortable and out of trouble.
