Keep the ideas coming! Thanks!

I second how great the timing is of this thread! We just got a Entlebucher puppy and cannot wait until he is ready to hike. He'll be around 70lbs so sharing a hammock is out but we already have something picked out for him to sleep on (his name is Rogue).

Hey Don...bring Rogue to the Spring Hang. He'll have at least two "friends" to hang with...Misto and Skydog.

He will be there for sure! It may be his first trip.

Anybody tried to go backpacking with a cat yet

I can't even seem to leash train mine.

I knew a guy who used to take his cat rock climbing with him. It would hang out at the base of the cliff while he climbed. A very cool cat. Mine aren't nearly as cool, they just steal things off my desk while I'm at work

This woman from one of the SEHHA campouts at Hot Springs, NC may have<G>

Hrmmmm....perhaps I need to keep being persistent in leash training my cat. I know it can be done and hes still less than a year old so shouldn't have trouble learning and all. Just have to take the time to get him used to it I guess.

Maybe... cats seam to do as they wish<G>. But it could happen.

"its either you figure out the leash, or its back in the freezer!"

i had a car camping cat. he'd hang out around the area just like a dog, unless a loud noise (gunshot, quad racing by) then it was up the tree... but he always got attention. 'ol Reaper passed on from a repiratory infection. (whats in a name, right?)
