Lets talk dog backpacking gear. Wanda and I get asked all the time, what gear we carry for her during our multi day backpacking trips. So, lets talk about some hiking and backpacking gear for dogs! We will talk about everything Wanda carries, as well as some cross over gear, that I carry for the 2 of us!
Wandas booties are from Mountain Ridge

Love the Wanda edition. I think it is great that you showed this because I'll admit I was one of those people that saw a dog with a pack and my first thought was " I cant believe they are making the dog carry all that food.". Great to show how this is not the case.

@MattyOutdoors 4 года назад

Ive had lots of people stop me on trail and tell me my dog is carrying too much, untol they realize all her gear weighs pretty much nothing. So far, we haven't got to the point where I've had to carry any of her food, which has been nice!

These dogs that get to go to these incredible outdoor areas while also getting to carry small or even heavy loads is what dogs want they love that evolutionary feeling of working in a pack and carrying stuff is just known as useful to animals... they instinctivly know that carrying or pulling stuff is something humans need and when we see dogs trained to drink from their own hudration backpack water mouth hoses, then well see an example of dogs able to carry their own stuff that they actually use from water packs/hoses ro even food

@MattyOutdoors 4 месяца назад

a dog hauling a hydration pack would be miserable, as you'd be constantly adjusting things back and forth to even weight

@6foot8jesuspilledpureblood82 Месяц назад

@@MattyOutdoorsI have 4 huskies so hauling water is not an option for me, they can carry it. I admit it can be annoying to manage the correct weights on each side. They carry 2 liters each and little food with no issues as they are trained with the weight. The weight drops quickly as they drink also the weakest dogs are the first to have the water removed. If I notice and discomfort I dump the water. To keep the weight similar you remove both bladders and pour at the same time into the dog bowl. Thay makes it easier. My dogs are built for hauling and very strong so it's not the same as your dog, more of a shepherding breed.

It's good that you pack Benadryl. I think it is a must have item because it can save our dogs life in the event of a venomous snake bite. I always pack Benadryl anytime we are out during the time of year when rattlers can be active. I put my Golden Retriever through snake avoidance training but I still bring the benadryl as a backup because it can give you time to get off the trail and get your dog to a vet.

Put a camelpack water hydration bag and hose and make one for a dog that somehow lets them bite down while looking up, and maybe pushing down on the pack with their paw with like sitting down or rolling on it haha i dunno i mean i bet theres a simple way to let a dog autonomously be trained to get their own water with minimal waste from some sort of wearable camelback water hose that goes right to the dogs helmet

We purchased the Approach pack (I first discovered the pack through your channel, so thanks!) for our dog Rusty and he’s starting to associate the pack with outdoor adventure. He loves it! So far, I’ve only been out day hiking with him and the pack. It’s been super handy, he’s been carrying my extra mits, buff and hat, as well as other bits and bobs. Well wishes from Montréal!

@MattyOutdoors 4 года назад

Awesome to hear you're excited, as I am too! Always a ton of fun filming with the pups! :) As for my first aid kit, I do have a full breakdown videi of my first aid kit, which goes over the full kit, and talks about the items for Wanda specifically:) Love hearing that other pups get excited when their packs come out! Its such an awesome experience getting to hike with your pup! When my fiance and I take the pups out for longer walks, we'll often get the dogs packs on and make them carry the water and snacks and such. :)

Wanda sleeps on a closes cell foam pad, but I still bring a blanket to toss over her on chilly nights

@KB-re4ku 4 года назад

Stumbled on your channel and found this video, and appreciate a fellow hiker/backpacker that brings their dog. I’m in AB as well so our conditions up here can change quite dramatically. My girl is a Ruffwear girl, almost every piece of gear we went out with is from them. It fits her well so I haven’t looked at too many other brands for her. Only her Salus Skippy pfd was the non-Ruffwear piece she had. A couple changes I have made this year as she’s getting older (9 years old this May) though is an inflatable sleeping pad from K9 Sport Sack and I’m ordering a rescue harness for her that I can carry her out on my back if something happens where she can’t walk. Fido Pro Airlift I’m getting for emergencies. I too use that Eddie Bauer Primaloft quilt, but I cut it down to be a cover (she usually just ends up sleeping on it though) and she sleeps in a Ruffwear fleece jacket. And I’m designing a tent like the one you have but for in our tarp. With food I’ve got her setup to 8~9lbs for 4 days. Looking forward to the park’s opening soon. Maybe we’ll see you out there.

@MattyOutdoors 4 года назад

Wanda does pretty much the same with her blanket. It's pretty rare she will keep it on throughout the night, unless it gets cold. Usually her cheap little vest thing we got on amazon is enough for her. Im intrigued on the inflatable sleep pad! If its lighter and less bulky then the blue foam roll, I may look into that! I like the emergency harness idea! I've got something fairly similar, thats more of a diy solution, using my hammock suspension, and ground sheet. We've tried it out, and it would work for getting her off trail if necessary. :) We're definitely excited for Parks to be reopened, and can't wait to get back out hiking!

@KB-re4ku 4 года назад

Matty Outdoors it’s less bulky!!! 3” diameter by 7.5” length stuff sack, but it is 385g, so not lighter. Her other pad is the Ruffwear Highlands pad (original version) at 210g but it folds up into a rectangular prism and takes up too much space in her pack and make it harder to pack while keeping weight balanced. It’s designed like a Klymit pad with those spaces to allow for loft or warm air to be trapped. I use half a 1/8” foam as a utility/sit mat so I’ll probably put that under her mat for extra insulation.

@automotivedistributors9708 3 года назад

Wanda is one awesome dog! So beautiful and she has one awesome temperament. She has a very similar loadout and equipment as my pup too. My Border Collie mix never complains and always gets excited for her backpack. I tried so many packs for her but never found a perfect fit. If you ever need a new pack...I absolutely can't recommend enough Groundbird Gear. Total custom built to your dog's body shape and removable pack from the custom.suzed harness. It's super stable too. My BC doggy is 68 pounds and literally looks just like your pretty all back Wanda, but with white feet. She was always in-between sides with companies like Ruffwear or Mountainsmith.

@MattyOutdoors 3 года назад

I looked at the groundbird packs, but with exchange, and shipping up to Canada, its just too pricey for me. We've been fortunate that the ruffwear, and her new Mountainsmith packs fit her extremely well!

He sleeps on a 3mm thinny mat which is doubled over with an aluminium faced foam mat on top as well. I check on him during the night and he always toasty warm, including underneath. He has a rain / wind jacket for day wear on winter days. He also has a flashing collar for night time use when outside the tent.

Hammock camping with the pups is the best! :) I've tried the mushers secret for Wanda, to help the ice build up in her feet, but her feet are so freakin furry, it doesn't seem to do much.

@HikingwithGus 4 года назад

Good info! I use water bottles to balance out Gus's packs. If he is light on one side I'll just add or remove water to the other side to balance it out. Never hurts to have extra water. I have been using the Ruffware Palisades dog pack. Problem is Gus is between small and medium so the harness is an issue. I just bought the Groundbird Gear pack system for him. the harness is custom fit to his body and is awesome!. I also have had a quilt made for him that weighs like 8oz is 750 fill 30F I got form Cedar Ridge Outdoors. It's a great quilt, compresses down to about the size of a fuel canister. Our vet is a thru hiker so when we go on multi-day long hikes she will give me antibiotics to get Gus started on in case he comes down with Giardia or Letpo....

@MattyOutdoors 4 года назад

That quilt sounds like it would be pretty awesome! I may have to look into something like that in the future! The palisades was what I originally looked into, as the detachable saddle bags is a very handy option, but for the price, I just wasn't sure how often, if at all I'd need to use it. Definitely interested in hearing how the custom pack works out though!

Hello Matty, thank you for all this helpful information. What experience do you have in combining the raincoat with the pack? So far my dog hasn't used a raincoat but I'm thinking about it for a trip to Scotland just to keep her dry(er) and protected from wind. I worry about chafing and ruining the waterproof material from the rubbing of the pack. Any ideas? Greetings from Germany

@MattyOutdoors 3 года назад

I've never actually used the coat with the pack together. If it rains while we're hiking, she gets wet. But even on a sunny day, Wanda ends up soaked. She loves laying in rivers and lakes. The jacket is more for around camp, I'll usually put it on her in the evenings if it rains, just to try and keep her atleast somewhat dry before bed.

Hey Matty, I hope you are well. Are you still using The Pet Palace for your dogs and your hammock and how do you find it after using it for some time? I am torn between this decision right now and not sure if I should spend $200USD ($8K CDN) on it or buy a cheap two person tent for $150 CDN and have it right beside me with my dog in it. I can always use the tent myself if I wanted to on other trips and the Pet Palace really only does one thing (I know you can store your gear in there and keep it clean when I am on trail without my dog) so I am torn. Can you give me your opinion if you have a second.

My dog has been living the dream. I have been carrying all of her gear but after our 100 miles on the Long Trail in Vermont I knew things had to change.

What are you use for mosquito spray for the pup

@MattyOutdoors 3 года назад

i spray some picaridin on her buff, and she gets a treatment of advantix for ticks and fleas

@naomibrown7785 3 года назад

OK, so now I know the vendor: Cave Creek, But there are other variables the web site asks. as: Panel Pull outs front(door) side (2) (+ $5.00) Seam sealing floor corners (+ $10.00) Again: what do you exactly recommend? / NB

What do you recommend for flies and mosquitoes for your dog

@MattyOutdoors 3 года назад

Hey Matty been trying to figure out what to do with dog poop in the bush. Ive found mixed opinions on just flinging it into the bush as well as packing it in and packing it out. Whats your opinion on this?

@MattyOutdoors 2 года назад

I usually bury it, or pack it out.

@lindsay7723 2 года назад

It depends where you are! In the US at least it's mandatory to pack poop out. Dogs aren't a native species so their waste can be super detrimental to the environment, especially in places with lots of traffic (and lots of poop).

@MattyOutdoors 2 года назад

As mentioned, some areas may have specifics on what to do, but thats just what I do.

@davethewelder1 2 года назад

Great video. I've read and scene dog packs get a bad rap, dog abuse or some bullshit like that. If there with you make them carry something. Friend of mine takes his dog, he's got a 10% weight of dog that he can carry. Don't know if that's good or bad. What are your thoughts on that? Either way, great video.

@MattyOutdoors 2 года назад

My pup is about 60lbs, and she carries maybe 8-10lbs for longer trips. Her weight is mostly food, so it gets lower every day.

I was slightly shocked that you had your dog on a leash in such a place. I’d imagine you must be on a popular trail to do so.

@MattyOutdoors 4 года назад

I do keep her on leash when we're hiking in the National Parks. In do most of my trips in the pluz areas, so shes able to be off leash on most of our trips.

@jadenscheerschmidt2721 3 года назад

@@MattyOutdoors I thought they still had to be leashed in pluz? Are there only certain conditions?

@MattyOutdoors 3 года назад

@@jadenscheerschmidt2721 it varies by area. But in areas that allow off leash, they still need to be under control. I don't recommend off leash hiking unless your pup can loose leash walk 100% of the time, especially in the areas i go. a pup running down trail can easily trigger a predatory response from bears or cougars.

@WolfdogSNS 4 года назад

What type of pup is Wanda? Im going to be training an Aussie Sheppard to backpack with me and wondered if you have any tips!

@MattyOutdoors 4 года назад

We rescued Wanda as a puppy, and she was a stray, so we're not 100% sure what she is, but she's a mutt. We figure she has Collie, and probably some form of retriever as well. As for tips, definitely work on recall, and leash training. Having a dog with excellent recall, and response to single word commands can make a world of difference, be it on leash or off. For the overnight stuff, do some trials at home. Set your shelter up in the back yard, and and set their backpacking bed up in it, and do a few nights in the tent at home, to get them used to the situation.

@faith5645 4 года назад

Wanda looks exactly like my Irish Setter/Chocolate Lab Mix!! Even down to the brown highlights that only show up in the sun.

@MattyOutdoors 4 года назад

@@faith5645 that would definitely explain the hilights! I had never thought about chocolate lab, but you could very well be right!

@MattyOutdoors 3 года назад

@Hilary Lannan We've actually had quite a few people with pure bred flat coats come up to us out on our walks around the city and mention the hilights as well, so that's very likely one of the breeds she has in her. :) Whatever breeds she has in her seem to have built the perfect dog for me 🙂

@76ben91 3 года назад

Matty Outdoors Yoooooo. I’d agree with the collie x flat coated retriever hypothesis. My 9 month old pup is 1/2 collie, 1/4 flat coated retriever and 1/4 English springer spaniel. He looks very similar to Wanda! He also has the liver coloured tinge to his black coat 😁
