Actually the vet when prescribing medicine for a dog. If you look into it. It you will find that the medicine is the same as for a person milligrams and everything the only thing that's different is the packaging. Because it talks particularly for pets. In fact, if you get into prepping. You'll find that you can buy antibiotics for pets. And they are the exact same thing for people. And you can buy them without a prescription Even in bulk. It's the same even for goldfish
Excellent video. I think recall is the most important command on the trail. I think she needs to be off leash to really enjoy herself. She stays with me and comes every single time I call her in different situations. We only go 3 miles or so at a time usually which suits us well.
In all my years camping and using "Cannister" type Stoves, I've NEVER even seen any size for sale but the 8 oz. size. No 4 oz. No 16 oz. Who, even on the WEB sells those "cute, baby size" 4 ounce ers?????😮
What is Mushers' secret? Also, I found my dog when she was young and while she is a mixed breed. It's obvious she has both Australian Cattle dog and Border Collie. So I got her used to things on her feet and booties early on, but that's because our summers are over 100F/30C so we put boots on for her walks in the summer
Just found your channel and subscribed Thanks for sharing your experience and gear. Are there sections of the CDT that dogs cannot hike with you? National Parks? I know the PCT, AT, and AZT all have sections that dogs cannot hike and assume it’s the same for CDT.
The CDT is very dog friendly in general, the only places they are not allowed are the National Parks (Glacier, Yellowstone, and Rocky Mountain). I was able to walk around those sections.
In the online description it say somthing of sanitizing the filter, how does it work, becourse I thing they will be allways some dirt in the filter left, even after backwashing, it's a shame that I haven't found anywhere a video how do all this, that would be nice, in the uk the squeeze version is very expensive, over 60£ that is about today 77$ ,not everyone can afford so much money for a "camping" trip filter. 😔
Would be much easyer if both sides of the mini and squeeze could be used with Standart threads bottles, like water bottles, than you could bckwach much easyer and also collect water in bigger containers much easyer. 🤗
The plunger is a 50ml syringe nothing more, it's not bad that they can be bought almost everywhere in the world for replacing a very old one in some time.
The caps would have proberly much more lifetime with hinge type caps than this bend type, that could be back and fall of, like the stupid hinge less caps on soooo many containers.
So I’m about to take a week long hike with my two rescues, both about 50 pounds each, but currently they are free fed kibble throughout the day, but then they have the “farmers dog” wet food in the evening which they absolutely love, but it’s frozen until ready to eat. (Usually 2 nights in the fridge) so how would I plan on this? It’s obviously more about them than me but also, who rescued who? 😊
raman was never made to be eaten plain. It was designed like any pasta, spaghetti, etc... a starch that you top with veggies and meat to make a meal. Raman was invented in Japan post-war to give the hungry Japanese a cheap base food to keep them alive. Only Americans, mainly college students, who eat it as is.
This is very helpful the "Recall" "Stay" and "With Me" commands are what I am working on especially the Recall. Mine is a puppy and that one is a struggle lol. 😀
This is my dream and I'm planning on doing the great divide with boxer...next July..I would love to keep in contact as it gets closer . This hike for me is a bucket list so thank you and you're awesome I so much want to do a video of me and my dog and once in a lifetime hike
To be honest, I haven’t used this harness since making the video four years ago so my memory is a bit fuzzy. I recall that Prima did not seem very comfortable as soon as I picked her up, but she was able to breathe.
@@TheMostImportantStep Thanks. My 20 lbs Cavalier King Charles Spaniel didn't seem super comfortable with the pressure from the harness on his chest. Since he's light enough for me to carry in my arms in an emergency, I may return my similar product (not a Ruff Rescue per se). I might actually take his airplane carrier instead since he would be more comfortable lying down in that actually and he can use it for shade if necessary. Ruff Rescue seems like a good product but for my use case, I think I wouldn't really need it
Guess it just depends on the person, I’ve been eating these as stand alone dinners over the course of 8000+ miles. It’s also very easy to add spam or other protein sources to these dishes if you so desire
No no no! Just no! The “cooling coat” is insanely dangerous! Putting something wet on your dog acts as a wetsuit which is designed to keep you warm in the cold. It will significantly increase the chances of your dog getting heat stroke. I’m a vet nurse studying veterinary medicine and I have my certification in pet first aid, grooming, nutrition, training and behaviour. I’m not having a go at you but any means…it’s not something that is common knowledge but I really really really wouldn’t recommend cooling accessories at all
Thank you for chiming in. I’ve never heard that before, though I will say that mine have been collecting dust for years now. I’ve found it to be much simpler for them to lay down and in a creek then cool off as the water evaporates from their coats.
And don’t forget to unfold the valve before you screw the canister on. How do I know this, you ask? How many times have I forgotten? Also, cooking on medium is actually more efficient. How much of a hurry are we really in when we’re out in the wild? and if you put something between the canister and the snow for a bit of insulation, it helps the fuel vaporize when it’s been asked. (Little square of corrugated cardboard works for me.) Good, clear explanation.
An actual review in a vr world of sponsored gear adds identifing as reviews as if people cant notice the infomercial idiot is fake. Thankyou for being real
I can attest to the strength of the Sawyer pouches. Didn't do the bleach long term storage thing last year. When I went out this spring on an overnighter, nothing would come out except a few drops. Back flushed a few times and finally got a weak dribble using all my hand strength squeezing the pouch. Didn't burst. Took 20 minutes to produce a liter.
If you are talking about first aid you should also add a muzzle for your dog: Even the best trained and calm dog could be stressed because of an injury and therefore act agressively. To make sure that people can help you and your dog, you should always have a muzzle with you. It´s also helpful if an extrication via helicopter is needed and your dog is not used to that. If you are hiking in more difficult terrain, you should always use a harness in combination with a solid leash with proper carabiners so you can secure him in case he falls.
I agree with the muzzle, though it’s easy to make one out of other materials such as glaze wrap or a bandana in a pinch. I’ve hiked with my dogs in some of the remotest landscapes in the US (Alaska off trail, Central Idaho, etc) as well as more technical hikes (class 2+ and easy class 3 climbs) and still have never felt the need for a harness even hiking solo with a 70 lb GSD. If you feel you need it then by all means bring it, but I wouldn’t say it is mandatory for everyone.
Serious question about mountain house here. How does ANYONE think those are sustainable when there is only 1/4 of the calories you need (on a regular day not hiking) in a pack? You'd have to eat 4-5 of those a day on a hike to sustain, at $10 a piece that's $50/day for food alone. You may as well order Uber Eats to the trail at that price haha. Those are just a luxury, a treat after a cold day, but hardly a meal unless you eat snacks all day.
This was so helpful! Lots of great commands I haven’t seen before that would be useful. I recently got a half Belgian malinois puppy (12 weeks old now) and am looking forward to going on trail walks and hikes with her in the future.
