Trail Tested Promise

The Knot-a-Hitch is a campsite dog-hitching system using climbing-inspired components and hardware. Designed with car camping in mind, this comprehensive and intuitive system allows your dog to roam at camp while remaining on leash.

The Knot-a-Hitch includes a strong, kernmantle rope that can be set up between two trees or secured to a single post using Ruffwear-designed hardware and an easy-to-use tensioning system. Your dog can explore their new surroundings while you go about camp duties such as setting up the tent, cooking dinner, or building a fire.

What's New: We updated the shell material on the stow bag for improved durability and resistance to fading.

Dimensions: Rope Length is 28.5 ft (8.7 m); Stow Bag is 6 x 7 x 2 in (16 x 18.5 x 5 cm); 14.4 ounces

    Fantastic product!!!

    I love the Knot-a-Hitch for pets! My dog and I are very outdoorsy, and the Knot-a-Hitch keeps him close by, while at the same time giving him some freedom of letting him stray just far enough to satisfy his curiosity outdoors...without him running off to chase another animal or scent.

    Versatile, easy, and works with two dogs

    We had previously used a stake screwed into the ground, but our boys got tangled all the time. I tested this out first in my garage and driveway while I was doing chores and they were out and about for over an hour with me without getting tangled even once. It worked even better than I expected.

    Solid piece of gear!!

    I love this piece of equipment and the quality of it is remarkable! It is quick and easy to set up as well as very thought out. It comes with everything you need but nothing you don’t. Basic, easy, and convenient gear to have on the trail backpacking or in the car / RV.

    Game changer

    Where has this been all my life!? Complete game changer for camping and picnics. Allows for controlled roaming without having to drive a spike into hard gravel. Easy to setup and takedown, bag is surprisingly small and light. Highly recommended. Any chance we can get a matching lead Ruffwear?
