Curious as to how much weight related to dog stuff that others carry in their packs.
My dog will have his own pack, but I've heard estimates of keeping his pack weight to no more than 10% to 25% of his body weight. So, he'll carry a sleep pad, some of his own water, some of his dog food, but not all of it. I'll end up carrying some of it.
For 5 days on the trail, it's looks like I'll end up carrying about 5 lbs extra for him in terms of water, dog food, dog first aid kit, booties, extra collar, leash, emergency papers, etc. He drinks more water than I do, so if we hit a dry patch with limited water, I want to be prepared for that.
Would appreciate hearing what others carry for their dog (and how much weight), and
what their dog carries (and dog's pack weight).
