My wife and I are huge dog lovers, and as silly as it may sound, wouldn't leave our dogs behind. I'm interested in hearing from anyone with thoughts or experience in bugging out with dogs, specifically, how they can carry their own weight a little....
I was in REI the other day looking at backpacking tents for my BOB and noticed they had dog packs, and it hit me - I could get one of these for each of our two dogs and fill them with as much gear as the dog could reasonably handle! A BOB for my dogs!
I try to shop around for the best deals on stuff, and I know REI is generally pretty expensive. The packs at REI STARTED at about $50, but I've since seen some on Amazon starting around $20.
Has anyone purchased these packs for this purpose? If so, what did you get, and what was your experience? Also, if anyone has any other thoughts in regards to prepping to bug out with pets (specifically dogs), what steps did you take/do you plan to take?
