Nanook
Nanook,
an Alaskan Malamute belonging to Darryl & Pam Paskett, enjoys hiking
in the Australian bush. He uses a Royal Blue Banzai pack in size Medium during
his forays.
When they're not hiking with Nanook, Darryl & Pam run Dog Packs Australia. This is what Darryl says about their life and future hiking plans:
"I live in sunny Perth in Western Australia with my wife Pam, our six month old son Matthew, and our three and a half year old wolf grey Alaskan Malamute. This is a picture of Nanook wearing his Banzai™ dog pack in our back yard. The first time I put the dog pack on Nanook and took him for a walk, he wasn’t sure what was on his back but quickly got used to the extra width and weight. Nanook can easily carry all of our gear (4 Litres of water, dog and people food, collapsible water bowl, first aid kit, keys, mobile phone, etc.), so when we go hiking in the national parks around Perth the only thing we need to carry is Matthew. The next day trip we have planned is to walk a section of the Bibbulmun Track, which winds it’s way from Kalamunda down through the south west of the state to Albany (963km), which passes through some of the most magnificent forests the state has to offer."
