One of my shepherds moving our cattle.

Nice looking shepherd. Love seeing working dogs at work.

Great video. I have a 65lb pit mix who always sleeps with me in the bed. The little princess can't get close enough to me. She loves hiking but I just don't see her being able to spend the night on the ground instead of in the hammock with me. Has anyone else been able to overcome this situation? If so, how? I guess the best advice was to try it out in the back yard.

I seem to recall seeing on here somewhere how someone fashioned a dog hammock that hung below their human hammock, gear hammock-style. Might be worth a try but, again, 65# seems pretty big for any hammock. My 60# husky is perfectly happy on her pad beneath me; I "trained" her to use it (I'm a full time home hammocker) at home and she knows where to be when we're in the piney woods.

Yet another great vid Fronkey!

Well looks like I can add that to my DIY list.
1) New tarp
2) New pad
3) Doggy hammock.

My wife is going to think I'm nuts spending do much time in the workshop with a sewing machine, lol

WV do you have plans or any close up pictures of your insulated dog hammock? That thing looks awesome and I think I may try making one and training my Lab to use it.

Do dogs have issues with the mosquitoes?

Figure its a good thing to know... Looking to get me a hiking buddy someday! Leaning toward a Rottweiler.

My aunt sleeps in a Hennessy with her 60 lb lab. The lab loves it! I have seen this first hand. I think it is a matter of training. The dog sleeps in her bag with her, which allows her to actually push the limit of the bag by quite a bit=weight savings.

I agree. My aunt is an Avon lady and gives me some. Never tried it on the dogs though! Good idea
