That's a fair one. Hounds for grounds and all that. Different laws, fauna, and terrain too. Having a dog that can detect a mountain lion is a real piece of mind, here. So's carrying a Glock! 1 hour ago, PMul said: Depending on your dog, put a pack in him and let him carry his own food. Maybe some of your stuff to. If im hiking, my dogs carry a lot of my stuff. I"ve got rescue dogs but they all pack their own food and water. I've got two that roam freely without worry but the other two are kept on a lead and staked out when we're stopped. They take a few trips getting used to it but it's been worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My two males are kept leashed for the first 10 minutes or so when they are packing. Also, I don’t let them pack anything I’m not prepared to lose. They got on a moose chase once (b*****ds) and somewhere out there is a sil tarp and a jet boil that I’ll never see again. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to let them carry extras but I stick to their food and water only now. One of mine managed to put a herd of mule deer up and the ensuing chase saw his pack destroyed in the sage brush and all his food, water, FAK, and my new MiniMo and Mountain House classics gone! He doesn't get to roam now! Saying that it's part of the learning curve. Not putting all the eggs in one basket and all that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
