Bought the trail pack around $20. The jacket was pretty good but no pit zips or pockets, but great for the price. The pants ripped the first time trying them on over boots. Because it was a pack buy...

I would suggest a working breed. Had a rott for ten years and he was great on the trail but was very protective & ate alot, but he could carry his own food until later in his life. Why not a "pit"...

Just read a report that peanut crop was down 18 percent this year, so peanut butter will go up 40 percent, along with other peanut products. Dang, what to feed the elephant now?

So glad to find WB can answer all my thru hiking questions! Ya'll crack me up.

Trying to decide between a Msr Hubba Hubba or a Rei Quarter Dome T2. The T2 is 6oz heavier, $80 cheaper, 10in longer than Hubba Hubba. Guess I am asking suggestions because I dont know much about Rei...

Check out Watermonkey.net or his youtube videos. Water Monkey just got a ULA wrap and has a video about it, good info. I hike in a kilt so I think I'm going to try one out also.

Oil it up & use it as a slip & slide! I worked at an 84 lumber yard few years back & we made a huge Tipi out of it, worked better than some of the tents I used to own.

I too am preparing for a thru starting 4/1/12. Best advice I can give is dont get overwhelmed by all the choices we have now days on gear choice. Keep it light & simple with each piece of gear...

Sorry to hear about your pup. Thank you for the info, didnt relize there was a vaccine for ticks, was just going to use frontline and check him often on our thru.

Great topic Redeye & good luck to you. Its amazing what one step after another after another etc. can do for the mind, body & soul. Even the days we dont feel like hiking, running or working out as...

Thanks for the suggestion on moonbowgear, have same problem with my rott/hound rescue. He has a large girth, thick neck and short body. Tried ruffwear which makes great products but doesnt fit his...

Yeah my pup runs certain things around here. Haha. Thanks Wise Old Owl I am cutting my old synthetic bag to fit him the zipper is busted on the bag anyway which is part of the reason for a new bag....

Enjoy reading your posts Fog Horn, you got a good head on your shoulders it seems, which I believe makes all the difference. I am also doing a thru next year with my pup, starting a little later than...

Thanks Lemon b. Never would have seen that bag. It looks pretty good if I can find one. Is it an older model? Seen a Mountain Hardware Lamina 20 at a local outfitter yesterday, might work well.

Tbone was adopted in May from the pound outside Las Vegas, he went to work with me for the 1st month then I was laid off. He is always with me except a few night with my parents & their dogs. So he...

Thru hiking with 45lb dog 2012. Will be sharing tent with him so assume a down sleeping bag is a no go because some nights he will be wet when bedding down. Any suggestions on a good synthetic bag...

If your looking for a pack Ruffwear is awesome and the largest pack they sell $125 has a hydro bladder & handles if you need to pick them up for any reason, also the pack attaches to a harness that...

Hi ya'll. Wondering if anyone has used the Kelty salida 2 on long distance hike & how it held up? Backpacker gave it good reviews, and the price seems good. Starting thru-hike in april with a dog so...

Yeah I dont really miss Vegas but I do miss the desert (like you said blue skies everyday), just walk out the back door & hike in any direction wouldnt see anyone out there and no need to leash the...
