    Dogs???

    Hello all this is my first post. I am researching and considering becoming a "hanger". I have been backpacking for years and have always been a tent camper if the weather or bugs got too bad. One of the things I love about going outdoors is taking my dog. Of course he sleeps in the tent with me so I don't have to worry about him at night. So how many of you take your dogs along and where do they sleep?

    There was a recent thread about hammocking with dogs here.

    Thanks I ran a search for "dog" and "dogs" before I posted and both turned up nothing.

    Here's a pic of a hammock hangin' dog on our recent canoe camping trip to the Adirondacks in upstate NY. (IF...I can figure out how to post the pic) All five people on the trip were hanging. One noob using a lender ordered her Claytor last night.

    I like letting my dog in the hammock, especially when it gets cold. Last weekend I let him in because the mosquitoes were really bad.
    He has torn through one hammock so far. Now I try to keep him on the sleeping bag. I am thinking about getting boots like these/ for him to wear in the hammock and when running next to my bike.

    you could get a mini cat cut tarp like this one and your dog will have her own shelter!
    btw, this is unofficially for sale, since i dont have a dog.

    Those are half the price I paid for Theo's boots. I bought These and I am very happy with them. I wish I would have seen those though. They look just as good for half the price.

    just east of you, neighbor. we should def. get together for a hike or three. seeing some of our rigs in person would truly give you a sense of the bountiful choices there can be made in choosing gear. I think there's about 8-9 of us from the Phx area and a handful more from Tucson, Flagstaff and such. have you been to HikeArizona.com to see any of the events coming up? a few of us HF dudes from the valley tend to head up to the mountains this time of year and we're doing Kendrick peak this saturday/sunday. good to see a new AZ hanger for sure!
    im also a trip leader on ABC (arizona backpacking club) under the name mikeinfhaz

    I would think that you could put some sort of ground sheet down under your hammock for the dog. The dog would be close to you and still under your tarp.
