Wow thank you so much for including my company Whyld River in your review! 😍 such an awesome video, super in depth, I even found out more about the other sleeping bags, and I will be looking into expanding that pad sleeve in the future! 🙌
Hi Rachel, do you ship to the UK? I’m a dog behaviourist and looking for a decent bed for Tia (Dobermann) and Tallulah (Mini Dachshund) to share whilst we go on our adventures 👍
@@DogmannUK yes we do! 😄
Wow awesome video! Extremely detailed and helpful. I was searching everywhere for a comparison of these three and lo and behold TH-cam. Thank you for taking the time to make this!!
You’re welcome! That’s exactly why I made it! I tried to answer my own questions, but let me know if you have any ones in particular I can help with.
I LOVE how thorough and methodical your reviews are. These are really pretty dynamite. Also, did Remy get a sibling?!
Thanks! Yes, new sister last Nov. Little Miss Winifred. She won’t be out on real trails for a while since she’s still growing and still very naughty.
@@GIRLplusDOGAdventures She's going to be a great hiking dog in no time!
So nice to see sizes and everything in person, thanks for such a thorough review. Can’t wait to bring my pup camping
This is great. I do winter backpacking with my dog and am researching dog sleeping bags. This is really helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Really appreciate how thorough this video is!
Thanks! Generally, I try to answer ALL the questions I had while I was trying to search so it helps other people out. I have 2 dogs again now (one is still a puppy) so it helps it getting a better perspective on dog gear.
Great review. Thanks for the leg work, I feel I can make a much more informed decision now. Looking to start taking my husky backpacking with me and this video really helps.
Thanks Thaine!
Awesome explanation, bought one thanks to you!
Thanks for the very thorough review.
Amazing! Thank you for such an informative review!
You’re welcome!
So helpful and thorough! Thanks
Thank you!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
Thank You 💕 so much for this. I have 2 Scottish Terriers I take with me backpacking. I really like the Whild River one with the new down liner they are selling. I'm going to get that and probably the Nunatek system for my older Scottie, as he needs a bit more padding on the bottom than my younger Scottie. Awesome Video ❤😊
thank you!
Thank you from the bottom of my dog lovin heart! Just started backpacking with my two dogs and hiking dog info videos are hard to find (with good info). I appreciate the detail you provide, so much. I bought a human fold up sleeping pad for my dogs to share and a cheap walmart sleeping bag as a short term solution. It worked fine but that walmart sleeping bag is so bulky, not water resistant and not fun to carry. I think I'm going to give Whyld River a try! Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us dog lovers!
You're Welcome!
Have another favorite doggie sleeping bag? Let me know!
Just purchased the Companion Dog Quilt from UGQ. It’s similar to a top quilt people would use but is dog sized. It’s made of down and weighs less than 15oz - also get to choose your colors.. Can’t wait to get it and try it out! Will have to see how the 20D inner/outer fabric holds up. Always nice to support our cottage manufacturers…
Thanks for a great video!!
@@AlexDavidson12 enjoy the UGC quilt!
Great video! I don’t camp with a dog, but after watching the comparisons, I want to go out and buy a Whyld River sleeping bag. The woman who designed it put a lot of thought into the design. (I believe you mentioned it is a woman designer.) You’ll need to do a follow up later this year to see how the tabs, as well as the bag in general, held up. I think it would be fun to see a video clip of Remy getting into the bag.
Yes, Whyld River has a female founder, Rachel Bauman. Just a side note, the little naughty puppy chewed off one of the toggles when I had the bed outside of the kennel right after shooting this video.
thanks! needed this
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
I'd love yo hear your comparison thoughts on the Non-Stop Dog Gear sleeping bag ❤
Oh interesting find! I was wondering why I had never heard of them, but looks like they are Norwegian company. I might order one to get a look at it! Based on the design, it looks like it would be large enough for Remy and the zipper does open up the bag all the way so he could climb in. The biggest issue I have is the top part of the bag has to be bigger than the bottom to allow for his girth. The large size looks to be almost 2lbs so might not be quite practical for backpacking but definitely good for car camping.
@@GIRLplusDOGAdventures the company offers really great gear! If you plan any winter backpacking, I'd put faith in them if it fit what you needed.
They're more known for their sled dog and canicross supplies. I wish I could just see their sleeping bag in person before committing 😅
Thank you for taking time to make and share this information. I do winter back packing with
my sixty pound German Wirehair. Which bag is warmer: Ruffwear or Wild River?
Hi Donny- so I think both bags will be comparable because they have similar synthetic fill. However, the Whyld River should be easier to tuck your dog in because if the modular construction of the bed. The Ruffwear bed was harder to get Remy inside so really lacked the functionality of a sleeping bag. You’ll also be able to find a better “in-between” size with Whyld River. I’m guessing your dog is probably always teetering between a medium and large?
@@GIRLplusDOGAdventures thank you for the prompt response. We just went camping this past weekend and temperatures hit negative five degrees Fahrenheit! It was so scary, because Artemis kept moving off of her ridge rest and coming out from underneath my down coat. We managed through the night, but I definitely want to be more prepared for my next trip.
@@donnyzarra oh no! I also use a cheap foam sleeping pad as well. I picked one up at Sierra Trading Post for $12.99 and cut it to size. You could also use some reflectix underneath in the winter as well to help with insulation from the ground cold.
This was a very thorough assessment of these different options and you definitely put a lot of thought into it. Did I hear correctly that you bought the medium ruffwear bag? If so, is it a fair assessment of the bag when your dog looks to require a large?
He’s between a medium and a large. When he curls up and sleeps he fits well. The large is way too big overall and was too big to take backpacking so I chose the medium. If it was just for car camping I wouldn’t care as much but wanted something he could carry in his pack.
@@GIRLplusDOGAdventures for the record, this was your first video I watched and I did subscribe to your channel because I think you have good content. I just don't know that I agree it's fair to say that you can't recommend the ruffwear bag simply because you chose a size that's too small for your dog because you wanted him to carry his own pack and then went on to analyze the wilderdog pack and make a note that it wasn't packable. I still think it was a great video filled with a lot of robust content. Just didn't feel like there was a level playing field and feel it's important to share for future comparisons. This may have piqued my attention more since I'm actively shopping for a bag for my dog and have had a great experience with the ruffwear bag but bought a large. Please keep doing what you're doing though. Excellent content and presentation of the info and looking forward to seeing more!!!
@@ginafielding5494 it was a hard decision to choose since he is in between. Over all I have girth issue with any of the same bag styles that close like that.
So appreciate the info! 🥾🏔🇨🇦❤️
You bet!
Would love if you could zoom out a bit to include the table to make it easier to see what you're trying to show us.
Did you get a chance to field test the Wilderdog one yet? I'll be getting a dog sometime in the next few years who will be coming camping with me (most likely either car camping or horsepacking - not physically able to do backpacking anymore).
Yes very durable! And I like to open it up all the way if I need a bigger sleeping area. It’s bulky though so definitely better for car camping or horse packing. If you use it outside on the ground and it gets dirty, you can just unzip and turn it inside out for a softer surface for tent sleeping.
@@GIRLplusDOGAdventures Cool! Thanks!
Which pad are you using underneath?
HI Erin! Is there a timecode you're referencing for the pad? I'm assuming when the sleeping bags are in the tent. If so, I just bought a cheap foam pad from Northmade product, that I cut down at Sierra Trading Post for $12.99. They have some there now! I use the pad also as a sit pad on trail.
Do you have an update on the Whyld?
Works great so far! My other puppy got a hold of one of the toggles but that’s about it. I do think the sizes runs little larger so keep in mind when sizing.
How much does your dog weigh?
Remy is about 68lbs, but is heavy chested in the front.
@@GIRLplusDOGAdventures thanks. My dog is about sixty pounds. I was thinking she would need the large, but after watching your video I am reconsidering the medium.
Would liked to have seen more of yhe actual product. Back up. Close up of you isnt needed gor a product review.
Whyld river sleeping bag is a trash. I took it one time only for 2 days hike at good weather and the filling inside clumped terribly. It doesn’t insulate anymore. So if you live in a desert - maybe it would work for you… For real conditions - total waste
