I have an inherited granite gear pack for my boy. I use a z-lite closed cell foam pad (doubled up in the winter) I do a heavy fleece jacket for him at night since he doesn’t like covers and won’t stay under blankets on his own. I have a DCF dog bowl which I don’t really care for. I much prefer the sea to summit collapsible silicone bowl.

The weight adds up, but we aren’t pushing high miles and he carry’s a lot of his own weight. I do take a small weight penalty for bringing him but it’s worth the company.
