And some more photos for @deafferret who was asking earlier about our hiking/skijoring harness setup.
Dale's hip pack was made originally for fly fishing, but has lots of nice pockets for things you might need while out skiing on a day trip in the wilderness, and a nice wide padded back to distribute the pull of huskies. We can move the split bungee attachment to the waist belt on a full backpack for longer treks, as long as there are loops on the sides to attach to.
Here, Dale is also showing off his "Tiak" which is basically "Stick" in the Altai Mountains where they were inspired from. It's an alternative to ski poles, with the added benefit of braking on steep downhills. First trip, worked well!
