The Trail Pack
They carry their own water now and consider it a promotion. Fits both of them, which is more than I can say for the back seat.

Harnesses · Tracy's pick
The Trail Harness
Two summers of creek crossings, zero rubbed spots. Padded chest, and a handle on top for when a decision has already been made without me.
Safety
The GPS Collar
Huskies don't come when called. They come when found. Live location and escape alerts straight to my phone, which is how I sleep at night.
Grooming
The Deshedding Brush
Coat blowing season is not a season. It's a condition. The only brush that keeps up with two of them.
Water
The Collapsible Bowl
Clips to the pack, folds flat, holds a full bottle. We own three. Someone keeps losing one and nobody will say who.
Summer
The Cooling Vest
A double coat in summer heat is a design flaw nobody consulted me on. Soak it, wring it, hike on.
Paws
The Paw Balm
Hot rock, cold pavement, winter salt. A little before and after, and the pads stay intact. The dogs tolerate this with visible contempt.
Leashes
The Long Line
Thirty feet of negotiated freedom for two dogs who regard recall as a suggestion. It floats, which has mattered more than once.
Safety
The Trail First Aid Kit
Small enough to live in the pack, stocked for paws and people. Used exactly once. That once was enough.
