Big Agnes Big House Deluxe Tent: 4-Person 3-Season

The Big Agnes Big House Deluxe Tent (4-Person 3-Season) is a spacious shelter that feels luxurious when you are inside, with good headroom, lots of internal storage, and the option to add on many of Big Agnes’ signature extra features. This tent offers plenty of space for four people and gear, especially when the vestibule is added, but some of the design features don’t quite work, like the zipper-guards placed on the inside of the tent, allowing rain to seep through, and the lack of a fully mesh back door. Even so, this tent offers good ventilation and good protection from poor weather with its highly waterproof and quality fabric, and has a simple setup and a well-loved storage bag.

Western Mountaineering TerraLite Sleeping Bag: 25 Degree Down

The Western Mountaineering TerraLite Sleeping Bag: 25 Degree Down is a very lightweight, warm, and compressible bag that is well-suited for side sleepers due to the flatter hood and the fit, which is wider in some spots, albeit narrower in the shoulders and chest. The narrower fit here was designed to save weight, which keeps this bag very light and easy for packing, while the continuous baffling seals in heat, allowing this bag to be both warm and save on weight.

Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack

The Ruffwear Palisades Dog Pack is designed for your buddy to carry his or her own weight on a multi-day backpacking trip. One of the best features of this dog pack is that the saddle bags can be removed from the harness, making it easy to take the load off at rest stops while still being able to leash your dog. Internal compression straps allow you to cinch the load as it changes over your trip, and the pack comes with two collapsible water bladders. Dogs seem to love (or at least not mind) wearing it. Just be careful not to overload your buddy, and to balance the load.

Ruffwear Urban Sprawl Dog Bed

The Ruffwear Urban Sprawl Dog Bed will have your best buddy snoozing in comfort, whether she or he prefers a soft bed to curl up in, or a firmer one that is easier for older dogs to get up from. The rubber bottom keeps it cleaner and drier outside, and the cover can be removed for washing. Cheaper dog beds are out there, but this one will hold up for years of comfortable rest for your pooch (and maybe even yourself as well).
