Our Paw Peak camping favorites – Essential for adventures with your dog

Camping with your dog is one big adventure. Hiking through nature together, sitting under the stars in the evening, and waking up to the sound of birds – it’s the ultimate way to leave everything behind for a while. But to make such a trip go truly smoothly, it’s nice to have the right gear with you.

At Paw Peak, we have our own personal favorites that we always take along when we go camping with our dogs. They make life outdoors not only easier, but also safer and more comfortable for your four-legged friend.

Take the Wilderdog Mega Hip Pack, for example. It comes along on every walk as a standard. Snacks, poop bags, your phone and keys, drinks – everything fits inside, leaving your hands free to hold the leash or snap a photo of that beautiful view. After all, did you know one of our customers even carries her camera in it?

At the campsite, you sometimes want to be able to secure your dog safely, for example while setting up the tent or cooking. Our extra thick and sturdy ground stake is ideal for this. Combined with a long tracking leash, your dog has freedom of movement while staying in a safe spot.

Speaking of tracking leashes: our 5-meter Biothane tracking leashes are a real must. Available in 16mm or 19mm width, they are waterproof, super strong, and easy to clean – ideal if you are walking along muddy paths or by a lake. For extra safety, you can combine them with an aluminum twist-lock carabiner, ensuring the leash never accidentally unclips. Dogs aren't allowed off-leash everywhere, but a 5-meter leash still gives them extra room to sniff. It also gives your dog space to sniff and find their own spot within the campsite...

..You can give your dog that special spot both inside and outside the tent with the dog sleeping bag – warm, cozy, and easy to roll up, so it fits perfectly with your camping gear. Head into the night feeling warm, and if your dog isn't a fan of the cold? An extra fleece jacket is a great solution. We have various fleece jackets in stock, ranging from rugged lumberjack styles to retro looks.

And during the day, on long walks or while traveling to the next campsite, the Wilderdog Backpacking Bowl is a real lifesaver. This ultra-light, collapsible water or food bowl is effortless to carry and ready for your dog in seconds. A perfect match is the Wilderdog Doggy bag – the ultimate bag to carry everything you need – whether you are going on a long hike, spending a day at the beach, or planning a spontaneous picnic.

Fill the bag with dog food for a weekend getaway, pack it with snacks and a picnic blanket, or use it as a handy overnight bag for your dog. The included stainless steel cup is perfect for measuring out your dog’s meal, but works just as well as your coffee mug by the campfire.

For a long hike, a collapsible silicone water bowl is also useful: light, small, yet sturdy, ideal for a quick water break.

Finally, we also consider safety. A personalized collar with phone number provides peace of mind – should your dog unexpectedly run off, the finder can contact you immediately. Especially in an unfamiliar environment, that is a comforting thought.

With these items in your camping bag, your trip with your dog will be a lot more relaxed. You’ll know that you’re prepared, so you can fully enjoy the great outdoors together. Because in the end, that’s what it’s all about: experiencing adventures together, making memories, and coming home safely.
