Brinks new pack came in today! From first impressions it seems really nice, he was a bit what the hell at first but quickly became accustomed to it. I believe I will make fleece covers for the bare nylon straps on his shoulders and under his arm pits. Can’t wait to field test it!

lol right! I did quite a bit of research before I decided on this one, and in many reviews people said when their dog wears their pack it gives them a “sense of purpose” and a job. Also it wears them out better lol so I’m curious to see how he reacts to it in a real world situation.

Please let us how Brinks does with the new pack. I'm interested in getting one so I'd really like to hear how it goes. Do you think the straps will be irritating or are you modifying for comfort?
 
I personally think they -might- cause some rubbing but I’m also extra when it comes to comfort. Monday we are embarking on an eight mile hike so we will see. Otherwise I’m planning on sewing some wool Velcro tubes that will fit over the bare nylon straps. Also I’m planning on starting a hiking adventures thread, as my friend and I are starting the Foothills Trail after next Monday! It’s a total of 76 miles but we are doing sections of it once a week til we’ve completed it. And of course Brinks will be there every step of the way.

That's awesome! My sister, Norris, and I did a good chunk of the Loyalsock Trail in PA which runs about 60 miles, total. Maybe like 20 miles between different hiking trips. I left before we could finish it but dang it had some rugged parts! It will be fun to watch your adventures! Are you going to Map My Run it or anything to keep tally?
 
I have an app called All Trails that allows you to record and save your tracks, so yes! This trail is rated one of the best long hikes in the country and encompasses the blue ridge mountains of SC and some parts of NC. The first segment is 13 miles and reaches the summit of Sassafras Mountain which is the tallest point in the state! So this difficult eight mile one is kind of a leg up to prep for that.
