    Great video Fronkey. Good information presented and it's nice to see you showed securing options as well so they don't wander off.

    What a great informational video. I am now just dying to get out in the woods and try some of those ideas out with my buddy Brick. Thanks for taking the time to share this stuff with us all.

    For a trail leash, I just use paracord.

    Target sells a very packable dog raincoat which also works well for keeping them warm. I think its the boots and Barkley brand, and sells for $8.

    For dog packs, I use the cheap PETCO one.It probably isn't good for a lot if weight, but my beast can haul two days of his food and his rain jacket in it. Try not to put more than a couple pounds in it; most dogs simply aren't designed to be pack animals.

    Finally, +1 to fronkey's suggestion to test your dog and see what works. My dog isn't too bright when it comes to hydrating, so until he learns, I'm hauling a liter more water than I normally would.
    If you can find some of those items online you should post some links for others to take a look at. I bet that would help out some other people with testing some methods that work for them.

    I had a paracord leash for a time and Kiba chewed right through it. But, she's half piranha.

    Thanks for watching.

One thing to keep in mind is to check what the jacket is insulated with....make sure it's synthetic!!! Dogs are dogs!!! And they will get wet or whatever else. Our dog (Momo) loves her jacket and loves the fact that her camping season just got longer!!!!
    Great tips! That's one of the things hiker's should be figuring out with practice hangs before they do multi-day trips.
    For example, Kiba rocks a jacket when we're not hiking and it's cold outside (Below freezing.) However, Tala will never need one even if it's minus 30. All pups are different.
    Momo is one cute pup!

    Thanks warloc. When I camp with Kiba I actually don't even worry about tying her up because she never wants to leave my side. However, if I let Tala off her leash she will be gone in a second.

    Thank you KC. I can't wait to see your trip report of Brick out in the woods.

    Great video and some really good ideas Fronkey. Those pups put Benji
    to shame! (The squirrel bit nearly made me snort my coffee!).

    Cheers

    Here are some links to the things I take when out with the monster:

    Outdoor Products 5' x 7' Tarp: sadly, no link, but you can find them in the camping section of Walmart.

    Boots & Barkley Raincoat: also no link, but you can find them at Target for $8. This one from Amazon is very similar: http://www.amazon.com/Guardian-Jacke...9078931&sr=8-5

    Amazon has the tarp as well 5x7 Hiking Tarp

    I can't remember which forum I saw it on (Bushcraft Forum, I think), but one of the members used a gear hammock for his dog, had an under quilt an all. His pup slept right bellow him.
