As the title says, my girlfriend, our dog, and I are planning to hike the TMB in late July this year. I’m looking for some advice on what gear to bring (or leave behind). To help, I’ve put together a list of my current setup on LighterPack: https://lighterpack.com/r/gcfztp.

Since we’re two people, we can split some of the gear between us. I’m debating whether the Durston Wapta 30 will work for both of us or if we’ll need to go with the Kakwa 40 instead. We’re also considering a dog backpack so our dog can carry his own food.

If you have experience hiking the TMB with a dog, or the Wapta 30, or both, I’d really appreciate any tips! And feel free to share your thoughts on my LighterPack list as well
