Fall 2020: Lead time for packs and harnesses is 7 weeks. We are aiming to complete quilt orders in 4 weeks. Mail service is taking longer than normal.
Please plan ahead: order your harness at least 3 months before your long distance hike so we have enough time to ensure an accurate fit before you get into the backcountry.
We are only shipping domestic and to Canada.

Groundbird Gear is the preferred brand by long distance hikers and weekend warriors.
Bobwhite believes in lighter loads for dogs, starting with the gear weight itself and bag capacities that make sense! It is nearly impossible to find the right gear for your trail companion. Store bought mass-produced packs and doggie sleeping bags are typically overly large, overly heavy and many dogs have issues with the fit, which causes injury especially on a multi-day backpacking trip. To have a successful hike, your dog's gear should be as functional as your own. Our team makes GBG specific to your dog based on your submitted measurements, in Baltimore, Maryland. We guarantee a chafe-free fit, made with the same ingenuity that you love in your own gear! |
