The dog bone also unlocks my bear canister, so I don’t need a coin handy. 👍

[@HilltopPacks]

Nice!

[@billcampbell9886]

Make your "dog bone" even more useful, add a tick tool on one end. A tick tool (a.k.a. Tick Key™) has a teardrop shaped hole that gets thinner toward the narrow end; it can safely remove ticks without heat, chemicals, or squeezing the tick.

Ben, you commented on one of my very first KZbin videos. Thanks for the love and much appreciation for your support. Hoping I'll come up with a good design for a custom print bag soon so I can support y'all back.

[@HilltopPacks]

Appreciate the kind words Mike!

[@brucefisher9560]

got the dog bone only have one good hand now I can do the PCT bear hang without special knots that I can't tie

[@JasonOutdoors]

Like the idea..... couple things I've been eyeing up so it looks like I need to order more gear😁.

[@AWalkOnDirt]

Ordered mine today to ship here to Arkansas. PCT 2024 the bag is going to Canada!

[@HilltopPacks]

Thank you!

[@AWalkOnDirt]

@@HilltopPacks no problem, likely get another bag shortly. I don’t like how my trowel fits into a ziplock. The trowel is a tad to big for a quart.

[@mrwes100]

Brilliant! I just grabbed a large bag, now I need a dog bone. Btw, it’s a Marline spike hitch 😉

[@OutLan]

Definitely a game changer! I've lost one of the old style aluminum toggles before (somewhere in WV). Don't intend to lose this one!

[@jarradphillips2218]

Great tutorial, for another outstanding product. I love my Hilltop Packs gear!!!

[@HilltopPacks]

Thank you!

[@BackcountryPilgrim]

PCT style rules, cool product!

[@WanderingMonkHikes]

Okay, I’m going to order this before going on the Ozark Highlands Trail in October. That’s my next hike to worry with bears. 🤪

[@CBne1997]

Got mine today and get to use it tomorrow on the PCT!

[@mtadams2009]

I am taking mine out on the Long Trail on Saturday. I purchased the small and larger version. They both work great. I am done dealing with the stick method. I always had issues tying the knot over my head. Thanks so much.

[@HilltopPacks]

Have fun out there!

[@Zvertnie]

Boom! Nice demo, cool product. 👍

[@K9SolutionsLLC]

Cool product! But does it trigger anyone else that he feeds the cord through the biner instead of just snapping it through the gate? Regardless, great video my dude.

[@Love2Wander]

cool product! Ben Love hilltop packs. stay safe

[@HilltopPacks]

Thank you!

[@TubaSolotheHiker]

Wow. Excellent!

[@Johnnywalleye1]

This is awesome 👌

[@JayMorrisonOutdoors]

Awesome!

[@tridoc99]

How much weight can the carabiner (and I suppose the small or large dogbone before they bend) hold? Asking because I hike with my brother and son and we want to start hanging but want to hang 2 or 3 bags on one biner.

[@BackcountryForward]

Love this! Brilliant idea Ben! How much does the micro carabiner weigh?

[@HilltopPacks]

Small 2" - 0.09 oz in weight and Large 3" - 0.19 oz in weight

[@BackcountryForward]

@@HilltopPacks that’s the dog bone right? Not the micro carabiner. But all good, I got it off the sight. 0.1 oz for the micro caribiner. So 0.19oz for the pair! Awesome weight and a great solution!

[@HilltopPacks]

@@BackcountryForward Oops! I'll check

[@BackcountryForward]

@@HilltopPacks all good. I gotcha!

[@Alpinenutclimbing]

Are the carabiners heavy enough to throw over a branch, or is a rock bag still needed?

[@HilltopPacks]

They are perfect to connect yo a rock throw bag. Too light to throw by itself though

[@Alpinenutclimbing]

Thanks! Buying your set-up today! @@HilltopPacks

[@InOurElement]

Already ordered one! Lol

[@HilltopPacks]

Thank you!

If I put my food up a tree does this make ME the food being more convenient for the animals ⁉️

[@HilltopPacks]

Yes.

[@praktika1082]

You spent more than two minutes talking about how it's easier to use than other options before actually just showing how it works.

[@HilltopPacks]

Correct

[@mgarcia8540]

and instead of opening the carabiner to put the rope through the center of the carabiner, he fished the end of the rope and pulled X amount of rope through the carabiner. Did it twice, both inside and outside demonstration. I shouldn't nitpick, but it was a little annoying to see someone who is supposedly experienced do this in a demonstration video.
