Disclosure: this is by no means meant to be an all inclusive packing list for a summit attempt or hike with your dog. This is meant to be a starting point with a list of gear that I, and some friends, always carry. However, everyone has different needs and goals so your packing list might be a bit different. I am always happy to answer questions. The most important part is to do your research, be prepared and feel comfortable prior to embarking on a summit attempt. Check out my favorite gear in Joanna's Gear Picks.
I carry a Gregory Jade 28 on almost all of my hikes. This size fits all my gear, plenty of water and has space for extra layers. I also carry the Wilder Dog Utility Pack to hold dog treats, poop bags, my keys and my phone. I carry way more gear than I will hopefully ever need. But I would rather carry a bit of extra weight on every hike than find myself unprepared in case of emergency.

DOG GEAR
Jacket; with short haired dogs I carry a jacket for them all year round in case they get cold while hiking or get hurt and we can't move as quickly. In the winter I recommend Hurtta Extreme Warmer. In the summer I recommend Hurtta Midlayer or Non-Stop Dogwear Fjord Raincoat.
QUMY Booties my dogs have never needed booties for the cold or snow but I carry these all year round in case they cut their paw open and need protection
Emergency carrying harness (Pack-A-Paw)
Vet wrap
Benadryl | know the dose your dog would need
Muzzle [Kane]
OTHER SUPPLIES
Hiking Poles
Microspikes
Gaiters
Water purifying tablets, life straw or filtration system
Hydration powder or Gatorade
Food | I will usually bring an entire meal + multiple types of snacks.
Water | for both me and the dogs; this varies based on access to water on the trail and length of hike.
