Armytek

This dog carries his own backpack — and it's not for looks 🐺

Meet Wilk, a working-line German Shepherd. Together with his owner, he's hiked 75 miles across the Isle of Skye in Scotland — through fog, rain, and rocky terrain, one of the toughest routes in the UK.

Wilk carries his own sleeping bag, most of his food, and even his trash — leaving nothing behind in the mountains.

A trained dog can carry up to 25% of its body weight, but on a trek like this, his owner kept it to a modest 10%. They worked up to that weight gradually, over months.

Here's what matters on expeditions like this:
→ Every gram and every item is chosen in advance
→ You can't 'buy more along the way' — you go with what you packed
→ Your backpack holds only what won't let you down after a week in the mountains

A flashlight is chosen by the same principle as everything else: reliability comes first.

Armytek was made for routes like this.
