C. What's the best way to get her used to it?
D. When hiking, should I put her eCollar on and let her run off leash while we hike (if the trail allows) or should I leash her at all times?
I have the outward hound backpack for Kenzi.
The most I let her carry is 10 pounds. She weighs 50 pounds. I think somewhere it's said that they can carry 10% of their weight. Well conditioned dogs can carry more if you work up to it. I don't consider Kenzi so well conditioned that I push her for more. She's in good shape but we don't extreme hike and it's pretty warm here. I like this pack because I can remove the bags without removing the harness if she needs to slide through a tight spot or she needs a break from the weight.
Start by just putting the empty pack on her and walking her and letting her wear it and get used to it, then slowly work up in weight. Put in empty water bottles and go for a walk. Next day throw a little bit of water in the bottles and let her walk with it. do that a few days and then throw a little more in until you work up to the desired weight.
It depends on your terrain with the ecollar vs. leash. I won't allow mine off leash anywhere. I don't trust them. Too much to distract them like critters and such. If you are hiking where there aren't a ton of trees for her to constantly be wrapped around I would long line her. If she is well trained on the ecollar and you aren't worried about her ignoring it should a wild animal like a deer or turkey or such then you might be able to get away with the ecollar.
Tyler - I use the outward hound, too. But I think I bought it too big...oh well, it works for my purposes. I got it when 50% off.
As for off leash ecollar? In your neck of the woods, you have poisonous snakes - do you think you can keep her from pouncing on a snake with just the ecollar?
I was reading reviews on the Outward Hound and they said that the bags come off really easily. Is that true?
Amy, That is a good point. I think I might end up packing it just in case but keeping her on a leash for the hiking.
i would say that the ruffware Palisades Pack is one of the best one with many cool fetchers and has a lot more room. a good stater one is Approach Pack that they make will hold a good amount of item for a day hike. the Outward Hound pack is a good price also and it should have a good amount of room in there. my guy he is usually on leash just for safety and so if he see a squirrel he wont high tail out into the wilderness .
the maxim amount of weight they can carry no more than 25% of their body weight in the pack. i stated by him caring it empty every other day for a about a week, then started by adding in 6 marbles on each side and took him on short walks with the pack every other day but no more then 3 day out of the week, and i added one more marble every month.
Blueeyed Ghost had a ruff wear pack of some sort this summer on the Mt Washington trip. The pack was held on with snap clip, easily removeable. The advantage of her pack is that the harness actually functions as a harness, the outward hound has no place to clip a leash. But my pack was only $27 or so, shipped. The ruffwear packs, I believe are double or more, you would have to check - the most certainly are the standard by which all else is measure, I'm sure.
I think I would prefer for it to function as a harness as well. I might try to look on ebay for a used Ruffwear. They sell the Outward Hound ones at the petstore here in town, so I'll have to go look at it.
Ronin, Thanks for all the input. I like the alpine, but I don't have an H harness, so I would end up having to buy one of those and the pack. I probably will end up going with ruffwear. They seem very well made, but shelling out almost a hundred dollars on one is not something I take lightly.
That other link was very helpful in that regard as well. They all seemed to be saying that the OH was a good pack, but not for hiking or anything that will wear it down.
There is another one some people from a husky group on fb like...http://www.ctcdoggear-usa.com/#!ctc-dog-gear/c3oe but I've never used it, or any of their stuff.
Amy, I don't think your pack looks any bigger on Ami than mine looks on Kenzi. Maybe we both got our packs too large, but she doesn't seem to mind it. It sits tighter and more stream line to her than any of the ruffwear packs do which is one of the main reasons why I went with this one rather than a ruffwear initially. I didn't like how bulky the ruffwears seemed since we go through some tight spots when we are walking. Along with the velcro there is a front pinch clip that secures the bag to the harness. I think kenzi is used to hers being taken off because she isn't bothered by the velcro sound.
Oh. OK - that's about how Ami's fits - it just seems to take up so much more of his body than some of the other packs. And I forgot about the little clip on top at the front. I want the large saddle bags because I carry a lot of bulky but light weight stuff and I need him to carry MY stuff, too since I can't carry diddlysquat anymore.
Also, I'm working up to the 25% of body weight for load limit -that's what I've read.
i am swamped at work but i have Ruffwear for everything! Look at my hiking post for images. I used cheaper brands and they all fell apart, wish i would have shelled out the money sooner! our RW packs have lasted over 5 yrs now.
We have this one for Anya (Kurgo brand, $45)...I had the Ruffwear and it fell apart after just a few wears--the straps just snapped. And Anya always seemed annoyed at the way it landed on her back. This one has been a champ and I like the extra support it has on the back/spine area.
I never put more than 4 lbs in it; she's 40 lbs. Really, if I put the backpack on her with nothing in it, she still acts very proud that she's doing a "job" and gets tuckered out quickly.
We are admittedly very naughty. When I take her to the town parks (paved walking paths) early in the mornings, I let her off-leash and she is allowed to explore and romp for a little bit. At state parks or wooded trails (or busier times of day), I use this long lead so she can still run and explore but I can keep her out of trouble.
^ I'm surprised your Ruffwear died! Did you try to contact them for a warranty? I want to say they stand behind all of their products.
I've had my Palisades pack for a couple of years now and it has been bumped, snagged, sogged down by water and mud, and it is still in great condition.
I have no idea about quality, but wolfpack does have some interesting products and since they provide a lot of service dog products under their DogCapes product line, I'd assume they have to have some degree of quality.
I highly recommend the Wolfpacks Banzai. I've had mine on tons of hikes, and it looks brand new. Great construction, and well thought out.

leaving us with slush and mud once again.
sights set to the sun and the blue sky, instead.
Everyone had a great day.
The birds were all finally able to emerge and run about a bit.
It had seemed like forever since the guineas and ducks were able to roam the farm.
from one grassy patch, through the snow to the next melted area.
they sure got their exercise!
The last stop after chores were finished was with the pigs and sheep.
Faith is the first to walk over to me.
Meanwhile, Hope thinks about it.
and Faith eats it, instead.
She who hesitates, loses the Ritz - or something like that.
Love the blue sky pics too! And you can almost feel the joy of the ducks running about. I felt like that a bit, myself these warm days. Bev, that first pic of the rooster - wow! Isn't it good to smell the earth again?
Great pics today Bev. So you've been having nice sunshine and warmer temps. Good for you and all your critters! So Faith is eating all the crackers? I hope Hope wises up soon! Isn't faith a much lighter brown color than she used to be? Or is that my imagination? Thanks for a great blog always.

After an early morning visit by the Nicaraguan authorities, we took off at about 9:00 for a six-hour run to the Golfo de Fonseca, a large sound shared by El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras. This was a must-visit place, as Ole ordered and had hand-delivered a chart for the area. The chart made it look interesting, as there were many islands and bays, and we envisioned gunkholing, swimming off the back, and poking around the beach. We arrived at an anchorage on the northeast corner of Isla Manguera, recommended by Roberto as a good anchorage, and not 15 minutes after we dropped the hook, the winds came howling off the island from the west, gusting up to 25 knots, and making it impossible to contemplate dropping the dinghy. The winds lasted until about 9:00 p.m., when it mysteriously calmed down.

How to: Use Google maps for trip planning
Photo above: heiwa4126, All others: Author
Thanks to Google Maps, a few hours on the Internet can be more productive than weeks worth of wingin' it on the road.
GOOGLE HAS PUT images of the entire world online, for free. Think about how amazing that is.
Last year, in "Virtual Traveling for the Rooted Hobo," Marc Latham talked about using this technology to explore the far corners of the world from the comfort of your office chair. The Street View feature even allows you to virtually tour UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
But what happens when you're already in the far corners? Can Google Maps be used as an actual travel tool?
I've used Google Maps to mount expeditions to an abandoned mental asylum, forgotten tropical beaches, and find bomb craters in Laos.
Getting off the beaten path can be difficult when you're carrying the same guidebook as everyone else, and though wandering aimlessly has an undeniable allure, the world is so huge that worthwhile adventures sometimes need objectives.
Serious missions require preparation, and thanks to Google Maps a few hours on the Internet can be more productive than weeks worth of wingin' it.
I've used Google Maps to mount expeditions to an abandoned mental asylum, forgotten tropical beaches, and, most recently, find bomb craters in Laos for a photo essay at Matador Change.
That last piece inspired a few questions about the logistics of capturing the shots, so I'll be using Google Maps screenshots from around the area they were taken to show how to effectively utilize satellite photos, Panoramio, and other features to plan your adventure.
If you combine these tactics with a rented car, bicycle, or motorbike, the potential for discovery during your next trip will be wide open.
Google is constantly adding higher resolution images to their satellite photo database, so by now almost every city in the world is covered. Really, try it — pick a town in Kyrgyzstan you've never heard of, zoom in, and you can probably make out individual cars.
Even with high-res satellite photos it's hard to tell exactly what's on the ground, but large features like craters are easy to pick out. Satellite view is also useful for planning how to get there — the map overlays aren't always accurate and don't give any idea of road conditions, so it's helpful to be able to spot the route yourself.
Picasa and Panoramio allow users to assign coordinates to their uploaded photos and overlay them onto Google Maps. This gives a level of detail you can't get from satellite photos, but the real adventure utility is spotting worthwhile destinations in the middle of large expanses of nothing.
In the example above you can see there are a lot of photos tagged on the Plain of Jars, but there's a separate cluster on the bottom right as well. That's a town that's home to a ruined temple, bombed hospital, and other interesting relics, but it's rarely mentioned in any tourist literature and seldom visited.
Though Google does integrate with Wikipedia, Wikimapia takes the idea a step further and allows anyone to outline, tag, and describe any feature in the world.
This is invaluable in large cities, where something awesome could be hiding just around the block.
Street view is only available for a few countries, but it's probably the most useful thing Google's ever come up with.
The most practical aspect is that you're able to see the front of buildings from street level, which saves a lot of number-hunting when you're trying to find that perfect little coffeeshop you heard about with nothing but an address.
If you're traveling by bicycle or motorcycle, it's also a great tool for finding the best route to take.
There are plenty of other non-travel-specific resources on the Web that can come in handy, like Flickr and Wikipedia. With a bit of fooling around, you can find the sites that work best for you and the methods of use that contribute most positively to your adventure style.

Summer is at its peak now and we all need some pick-me-ups every now and then. I am so glad Crispy M&M'S® are back on popular demand. Clearly they are not just my idea of a perfect mid-day treat. They are truly a satisfying chocolate treat at 180 calories. They have a sweet rice puff center that's crispy and crunchy and coated in the world-famous candy shell and made of rich milk chocolate.
I went ahead and incorporated my favorite Crispy M&M'S® into an (SUPER!) easy dessert which is under 200 calories as well.
5) Throw in one or two fill Crispy M&M'S® for decoration!
It tasted SO GOOD, you guys!
I like your mortar and pestle! Looks like a delish treat!
YUM! With school starting back I am always looking for healthy treats for ny kiddos! Can't wait to try this on them!
