A: First, there's the gear mandated by the Iditarod rules: an ax, a sleeping bag, snowshoes, a 2.5-gallon cooker (with adequate food and fuel) for the dogs, eight booties per dog per day (either on the dogs or in the sled), and a "vet book," in which the veterinarian at each checkpoint records notes about the dogs as the team progresses up the trail. Finally, the musher must carry promotional material, such as a packet of letters.

Each Musher is required to carry an arctic parka, a heavy sleeping bag, an ax, snowshoes, musher food, dog food and boots for each dog's feet . Of course the other items you must have are a sled and dogs.
