Autumn colors with little Theseus just before the first snowfall of the year. We had some great snow for the last week and then came a bunch of rain 😕 Hopefully more snow is on its way to the soon!

While the capricious weather prevented us from summiting the Eiger, it did make for a breathtakingly moody setting lower in the valley near and

captured so many amazing shots of Theseus while they waited for me to descend and join them on their hike.

21/10/2023

Last weekend we started up the in an attempt to make a summit bid hoping for a weather window despite the dreary forecast. But the conditions remained suspect and we decided to turn back. The mountain will still be there for a future attempt.

Meanwhile, took for a Sunday stroll near the base of the Eiger in and due to serendipitous timing, we were able to link up following our descent. So even though we were not able to reach the of the notorious menace of the we still got to enjoy a wonderfully moody family day hiking together in the ceaselessly beautiful surroundings of the near home and headquarters in

Theseus was all geared up with his Moab Lite and I was clanking away down the trail with my rack.

As a lifelong adventurer with a predilection for mountains and the myriad activities they open to us, I am grateful to have spent the last 14 years traveling the world with Thunder hiking, climbing, camping, BASE jumping, paragliding, skiing, wingsuiting, kayaking, and exploring some of the richest and humbling landscapes our world has to offer.

Our passion for adventuring together with our pups remains fresh, and I believe these many shared adventures build the backbone of the inseparable bond I have with old Thunder.

In hopes of helping other dog lovers develop such bonds with their pups, I began designing and building improved adventure gear for dogs, using my extensive knowledge of and experience with rock climbing equipment, camping gear, and parachute systems. Hence, DOGPAK was born, and we are excited to see where this journey takes us next!

Now Theseus has joined our pack, and we can’t wait to tackle all the outdoor adventures we have planned for the upcoming years together.

Theseus is wearing his Moab Dog Collar whilst enjoying the autumn evening sun.

Sizing: Medium: 35-51 cm (14-20"), Large: 46-66 cm (18-26") In stock shop at Dogpak.com

The inspiration: Moab, Utah—it is truly a place like no other. It can be a menacing place. A place incapable of sympathy, unforgiving of error, but welcoming to courage. The Earth towers in jagged sandstone cliffs shifted over millennia, eons, into a barren oasis of slick-rock and slot canyons with shelved walls extending hundreds of vertical feet like the unfurling fingerprint of a god.

If you have ever been there—to those places deep in the desert, far off the trail, that blaze by day and blanket you under the milky way at night—then you know some stretches are so rugged and wild that they will never be conquered, can never be conquered.

So instead, we seek not to conquer; rather, we celebrate and embrace the wild ruggedness of this glorious landscape. Our Moab themed collars and leashes are an homage to this extraordinary place, designed for extraordinary dogs and their human counterparts to whom adventure is a way of life.

When you take your 14 year ol‘mutt ontoan unknown trail on vacation you always gotta be prepared for „some“ additional weight to be put on your shoulders 🤣 Thankfully Thunder & Dogpak owner Devin were part of an avalanche rescue team in their past and are therefore used to this type of getting down or up a mountain. Thunder might have just put on a little more weight in the meantime. 🦮💙

Theseus is getting acclimated in his new hiking environment!

Back when old Thunder still had hops! Old pup turned 14 last week and he’s still going strong, but he can’t quite hop like this anymore 😢 Still, after two knee surgeries and being like 100 years old, he’s still got some of that puppy spirit in him!

Theee-seee-USSS! I love calling for Theseus like some Grecian General calling forth his finest soldier to battle in a sprawling Homeric Epic 😂 And he seems to love it too as he comes bounding in, eager and willing in his search for valor and his indomitable quest to become immortal in name and legend for epochs to come. 6 months old and I swear he has doubled in size in the last month!

Valley walks with in

Old Thunder turns 14 next month. Following both CCL replacements in his knees, he was beginning to slow down a bit. But we sampled some for his back paws and it turns out they really seem to help him walk better! Maybe the added grip gives him more purchase and he doesn’t have to limp as much.

We are hoping to add these dog boots to our product line soon, so if you’re in the market for a pair or two, be sure to stay tuned!

We also want to add a few more pieces of to our collection, so let us know in the comments what you want to see next: life jackets, rain coats, winter jackets, dog boots, dog goggles, K9 first aid kits, cooling vests, or anything else you think would help you and your pup on the trail!

Theseus’ first camping trip! We visited deep in the heart of the for a little break from the office to take old Thunder and little Theseus for a camping retreat.

We also had a chance to test some new like dog jackets we want to add to our product line. wore her beautiful and did some foraging for wild herbs. We also helped Sandi with the animals and making her Alp cheese the same way it’s been done for hundreds of years—with hard work and lots of care!

Theseus did great with his new Moab Lite and learned how to be a around the other animals.

Thunder turns 14 next month but he still crushed it on the trail and appreciated the prototypes for the new we want to add to our product line. Lots of hiking, some nice fireside meals, and trading the office for a tent—what a great way to spend a few days and nights under the stars!

After almost 1week of having Theseus adjusting to his new family, home and surrounding we met up with the amazing Andrea of to give him and Thunder a well needed exposure to a long walk in the swiss forest with other dogs. We could not be more proud of how he behaved and interacted with the other dogs after just such a short time! Big thank you to for meeting up with us and giving all pups an awesome time Roaming in the trails of our backyard! ❤️🫶🏼🦮🐕🐾

A close-up of the final design of our Moab Lite featuring a standing D-ring for one-handed leash-clipping. No more fumbling around with the D-ring trying to get the leash clipped. Our standing D-ring allows you to easily clip with one hand.

I’m super happy with the way the final coloring turned out. I love the rich, darker blue contrasted with the bright sealed zippers. Our nylon ripstop is and reinforced with Kevlar threading for added abrasion resistance, and also PU1500mm coated for waterproofing. Save your dog’s joints and keep your gear dry with this ultralight, waterproof, highly adjustable, and highly reflective K9 backpack now available for pre-order at dogpak.com.

It’s been a long time coming, and after something like 8 or 10 different prototypes, we are stoked to have the final version in-hand and ready for testing!

A big thank you to for the opportunity to do an interview with them. (Link in stories). This interview gives a detailed rundown about my process starting , many of the hurdles we faced along the way, and how we went about navigating them. It is a candid glimpse into my own journey starting with an idea, eventually having a prototype, and then moving into large-scale production.

We are still a fledgling business with more rough waters up ahead, but we have come a long way and learned a lot in the process. If you’re interested in starting your own business, then definitely give this article a read! And feel free to reach out anytime.

“Philosophically speaking, I think learning to “take the leap” is an invaluable skill to learn as a human. Having the strength and courage to take on the arduous and daunting responsibilities of your own hero’s journey–whatever that might be–is a vital skill to growing as a human being.”

made an excellent model for us while we were dog-sitting the trio. Our Moab Lite fit him perfectly and looked awesome on him, and so did our new Moab themed collars and leashes. It finally feels like things are starting to come together.
