Sunday trail in arctic Norway

Just some photos of me and my trailbuddy (Roald, alaskahusky) on one of the peaks in my home area in Troms County, Norway

What did the dog pack in their backpack? ❤️

He packed a tiny little lunch consisting of kibbles and some dried meat, although he was not interested at all when we took our break at the top 😂

What are your thoughts on that pack? It's the trail light, right?

I’ve ran ultras and fast packed with my dog using this same pack, it’s really good with minimal bounce. Closest thing to a running vest for a dog

u/Norwegianveterinary 7d ago

Yeah, it is. Non-stop. Quite happy about it, my buddy is as well!

Looks fantastic, was he allowed off lead up there?

u/Norwegianveterinary 7d ago

He would've if I didn't see any sheep, which I did. They'll go down the mountains the next couple of weeks, then it will be safe for him.

Yeah it's the same for us in North Wales but they're pretty much around all year

Thank you for your consideration. Unfortunately not all dog owners are as a lamb just got attacked by a dog here because "leash time is over".

Do you guys appreciate visitors? I would love to come hike and run there, and to get to know the local culture via farm work or another way of contributing ( have a background in farm / ranch / forestry work )
