As the editor of both Grrgear and Geargals, I get gear deliveries almost every day. You’d think the Geardog would be used to it, and he is. But somehow he knows when a delivery is for him – and he was REALLY psyched to get the Mountainsmith K9 Cube in the mail. I was psyched, too, because the Geardog goes everywhere with me and I’m always looking for solutions of how to carry his stuff. The K9 cube is a great tool for field days, road trips, or general gear storage for the car. It’s got a separate dog food container that is lined so that the greasy dog food doesn’t get all over the place, a drop-down food tray with portable food and water dishes, two mesh toy holders, a lined towel compartment, and a side sleeve for other toys. Much to the Geardog’s delight, the cube even came with its own matching frisbee toy!
When the dog food container is in the cube, there is still enough room for a few leashes, harnesses, a coat, dog booties, and a few more vital doggie things. I’m pretty sure that the cube is meant to fit into Mountainsmith’s bigger Modular Haulers so that you can add your dog’s gear to the family’s gear and you’ll be on your way. This is a great solution for me because I always have dog gear in the car, and the cube helps to keep it organized while keeping the rest of my car clean and dry. I especially love the mesh pockets for slimy, dirty dog toys. They can dry without getting the rest of my stuff covered in slobber. So this is one piece of gear for dogs that is great for people, too!
