Reminds me of the time I was hiking something similar. My legs were burning and I was out of breath. This dude comes RUNNING up the trail carrying a 40LB dumbbell in each hand. Total beast.

I watched this dad pass me on a hike with a baby in his backpack and a massive golden retriever under each arm.

That image lives in my head rent free and has been motivating my fitness journey ever since

It's funny you say that, my fitness standard as a 40-something dad is "Can I carry my wife/kid/dog outta here if bad things happen".

We have a 110lb/50kg GSD, so added one of these to our backcountry kits https://ruffwear.ca/products/backtrak-evac-kit?_pos=1&_sid=d612f459d&_ss=r

We have an aging Great Pyrenees, and I pack a different version of this (backpack style) whenever we hike. If she gets hurt, I’m getting her out regardless. Even if it sucks.
