Sports reviews of Mountainsmith Dog PackCustomer Review: A holiday saviour ! Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This is quite possibly the greatest thing since sliced bread ! other than sliced bread with the crusts removed of course.
I was in an difficult situation last year, let me explain.
I, for a long time, have had a love for open spaces and the whole hiking and campology scene. I am a regular purchaser of "Hikers Monthly" and own a mint condition copy of "The Art Of Camp". I've been hiking in several places around Canada and the Rockies but for a long time I've truly wished I could scale the heights of Everest or wander the mountain passes of the Pyrenees. Well one day my opportunity came ! My friend, who is part of the WCO(World Camp Organisation), called me up and asked me if I'd be interested in a fortnight up the Pyrenees !! As you can imagine I nearly passed out in my two berth with excitement(I was camping at the time). I hurried home to pack as he said we needed to leave that weekend.
the problem came when I opened the door of my house I was met by Tchaikovsky, my alsation. "NO !", I thought, "What am I supposed to do with Tchaikovsky ?". There had been an unfortunate incident at the kennels earlier that year, although the courts could prove nothing, and Harold, my neighbours Iguana, had been harassed a little too much so I didn't like to ask.
I was feeling decidedly down when my friend rang me back. When I had finished updating him on the situation he suggested I look for at the Mountainsmith Dog Backpack. A little confused I looked on Amazon as he had suggested and as soon as I saw it I knew what he meant. I ordered it straight away and it came within two days. Thanks Amazon !
When I slipped it onto Tchaikovsky's back he went mad with delight and shot off round the garden barking at the trees and anything else he could find.
Friday soon came around and after Harold's funeral(sadly he died of a heart attack but again nothing could be proven), we were off !
We had an amazing time seeing the sites and climbing ridge after ridge. Tchaikovsky carried the instant mash powder and my collection of David Bowie CDs + CD player, in his saddle bags. Not once did he wimper due to chafing and we took some great pictures of him in his little red bobble hat.
Thanks for making my holiday !

Small pack fits dogs 20-40 pounds (example breeds include: Cocker Spaniel, Terriers). Medium pack fits dogs 40-80 pounds (example breeds include: Golden and Labrador Retrievers. Large pack fits dogs 80 pounds and over (example breeds include: St. Bernard and Great Pyrenees). There's no better way to spend a weekend than hiking with your dog, but it can get a little tiresome hauling gear for both you and Cosmo. Fortunately, now your pooch can carry his own food, water, and toys--and some of your gear as well--with this Mountainsmith dog pack. Available in three sizes, the pack is outfitted with an independently adjustable fleece-lined chest harness that fits most breeds comfortably, so your dog will barely notice the pack while walking or running. In addition, the pack offers plenty of storage space, with two large main compartments, zippered side pockets with rain flaps, and an internal valuables pocket. And thanks to the pack's D-ring attachment point, you can attach the leash directly to the pack for easier hiking. As a result, the Mountainsmith dog pack is perfect for everything from all-day and overnight outings to extended trips into town.
