Winter Escapes
Ugh, winter can really wear on you. Sometimes you just gotta get away. The weather is cold, the roads are terrible, snowmen have taken control of the countryside and stairs are slipperier than ever. HOP ON YOUR DOG SLED AND GET OUTTA TOWN. Don’t go running to the airport, those places are stressful and they make you take your belt off. It’s 2017 and the dog sled is the hot new mode of transportation. Check out our fave stuff from Osprey, Patagonia and more.
Duffles + Luggage
No matter where you run to this winter, I know you’re gonna take some of your stuff with you. We’re a stuff-based society. Gotta bring your stuff. Luckily dog sleds can accommodate your luggage so you don’t have to watch one of those airport baggage guys kick your bags around. Here are some of our favorite packs and duffles that will stow easily on your sled (or on a plane, I guess).
