For those dog lovers out there who dream of taking their best pal in the world on a backpacking trip, this episode is for you!

Effie Drew has hiked thousands of miles with her dog Luna along some of the best trails the United States has to offer and on this episode, we dive into what that looks like. We cover everything from training for a trail, managing food and water, to deciding how much weight your dog can carry down a trail.

Enjoy!
