We’ve used it for South America and loved it. | Kurgo Loft Wander Dog Bed for TravelComfortable, easy to wash, and a must for traveling with a dog. Sora takes this bed everywhere and we love it.

Kurgo Reflective 6-in-1 Quantum Dog LeashThis leash can be used in so many different ways. We love being able to clip the leash to a bench, pole, or even our bodies. It’s our everyday leash, check out the review for more details. | Kurgo Spring Back LeashFantastic leash for running with your dog or a quick toilet break. Easy to use, small, and simple. | Kurgo K9 Excursion Running BeltWe use the running belt with Sora on the big hills that are too steep to ride or if we’re tackling a long run. Extra storage and various adjustments makes this a must for us. |

Big Agnes – Copper Spur HV UL TentDouble doors, light, bright, easy to setup, and one of the better tents we’ve used. Plus, Big Agnes has wonderful customer support if you have any issues. Two people + gear + a dog = 3 person tent. | Therm-a-Rest NeoAir All Season MattressHands down the best pads out there. Super comfortable, durable, and you can use the self-inflating battery operated pump. Slightly loud, but then again, so are all inflatable sleeping pads. | MSR Dragonfly StoveThis stove can be used anywhere with almost any type of fuel. We love the valve adjuster and self cleaning shaker jet. Plus, it has a lifetime warranty. This is THE stove to take when traveling to parts unknown. |

It has a grader, cleaning brush, wine opener, knife, cutting board, spatula, and room to store spices. | MSR Flex SkilletDurable no frills no stick skillet. You can easily pack the skillet with the duo system and the handle comes off for easy packing. Big enough to use for making enough food for two people. |
