Knot-a-Hitch™

campsite dog-hitching system

Color

Selected: Red Clay

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.

Note: The Knot-a-Hitch™ should only be attached to a harness (not a collar).

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

    Practical and useful

    I took this knot - a - hitch system camping for the first time I took my dog camping and I loved it! The system was very easy to set up, my dog loved roaming around the camp, and I felt assured she was safe. I recommend this to anyone camping with a dog or just trying to keep a dog in a small area like the park.

    So AWESOME!

    We are now able to have our puppy at camp without having to stake her out and having to worry about her getting tangled up! She has plenty of room to run and romp, with the worry of getting snagged!

    This is so easy to set up and use. Slightly shorter than I expected but still enough length.
