A very kind woman asked me to post this for her. Her daughter accidentally damaged the portrait and one of the subjects has passed on. She wants to reprint this in a 16x20 once fixed, the OG size. Is there anyone who can take this on? $20 tip.
I am starting the trail around the 1st, and I am bringing my GSD/ Husky mix. This is our first thru hike together, and I want to be extra mindful of his exposure to heat. I bought some sled dog shoes that I saw recommended by another group on FB. They seem to work way better than other shoes I have tried.
I am still trying to dial in my gear, one big question is whether we could fair fine using my Durston X-Mid 1 pro. I set it up in the yard and tried to practice getting comfortable with my pup in the tent. Honestly it wasn't the worst... but I could imagine it getting old fast. I also have a Durston X-dome 1+, and I bought to use for this hike. I just realized I enjoy setting up the x mid much more, and it is so much lighter.
Maybe important info: I am 5'5 and around 130 lbs, so I don't need the entire internal footprint in either tent. My dog is about 60lbs. Might be a stupid idea, I really love my xmid though.
Please share your thoughts, tips, tricks, this is my first true thru-hike! I am very excited and grateful to be able to get out there.
