You've listed exactly what we pack for multi day trips in the Alps with Otto so I'm not sure you've forgotten anything. (other than climbing harness which obvs doesnt apply in your case).
I think you've nailed the food increase...seems in line with our experience. Perhaps consider taking some particularly tasty training treats as a trail mix too.
A question for the dog-hikers please…
I intend to take our border terrier walking the South Downs Way (~100 miles), probably 20 mile days. We’ll be staying in dog friendly accommodation so no tent or bedding considerations but we tend not to bag drop ahead so will need to carry everything else. My thinking is poo bags, kibble for 7 days and larger portions as he’ll need probably a 50% calorie increase, a few extra first aid bits in case of cut paws, small dog towel for general filth removal, favourite ball, water and food bowl…. What am I missing?
