I would never think of having Mekia off leash. She would be gone in a FLASH! She's been taking really good to training. So I think I can do it. More repetiton is needed. I cant go very far either since she's not vaccinated.

Thanks for the tips. I will try that. She's such a good dog and easy to train. She didn't even know what a toy was. Never knew how to sit, stay, play ball NOTHING. She just existed. Now, we have her playing ball consistantly bringing the ball back to our hand and letting it go, sitting...

NJadioguy, Your GC will drag you around LOTS of places reliably. In reality, you will break before it will. Don't be afraid of venturing off road, just take your time, and use common sense when crossing waterways etc. You will have a BLAST. When in Newfoundland, don't just stick to the...

Anyone have any tips on leash training an "adult" dog not to pull? I know she's a husky and thats what they do but I would love to have her not pull while we walk on leash. In our fenced in garden she's fine, will walk next to me etc, take her out of the garden area and into our driveway...

I picked up Mekia's seat belt harness today. Now, we can cruise with the window down with no chance of her jumping out! YEY!

Agreed, We find toyota corollas the worst. They have some sort of retina ripping LED technology in there. But most led lighting is brutal because of the wavelength of the light. Same as dumb blue HIDs.

Here it's a necessity to run auxiliary lighting if you drive in the nighttime. The general rule is having them hooked to your high beam for a trigger and on a switch as well. Most people abide by this rule. Bright lights are needed here because of so many moose on our roads. They kill people...

I am afraid our dog will just pull the spiral anchor out. She is STRONG!

I am sure that you can attach a lead on your truck somewhere. He would be fine as long as he's in eye shot of you. Our Mekia is starting to settle in to her new home, and we are figuring out a way for her to camp with us too. For a lead you can use a good quality line and a hitch pin in your...

I worked as a bike tech for a year at a local sports chain here. We sold GT. They are great bikes. My wife has the aggressor pro as well. They made a female specific model and it fits her perfect. I am riding a specialized rockhopper and Colin has a Diadora 26'er kids bike. We grew up in...

AMEN to that. How many times have we had issues like that.

That's the way we are looking at it now too grubworm. Our last trip to Nova Scotia we spent 3200(Edit, my calculations were wrong, closer to 2000 dollars) dollars on hotels. At the time, Colin needed his own room so we paid for a suite in Halifax for 8 days. Then a night in port au basques...

Good design, but if I were you I would move the adjustment bolt to the front, incase your window pops up when opening your tailgate.

Our big trip for next year is the Atlantic provinces. We are going to be setting up the sylvansport in one place, travel around using it as base camp, after a few days move to the next area, rinse and repeat. I will be making a few hotel/airbnb stops too just to get some comfort after a...

I use out west and back east. I live in the east. It's also up north and down south. It grinds my gears when locals say down in Labrador. NOOOO, it's UP IN LABRADOR!

We got our new Autism Family Travels member this past week. She is an amazing beautiful 2 yo purebred husky. Words cannot describe how amazing this dog is. We are blessed to have had the chance to get her. She will be with us on every road trip from here on out. Colin absolutely adores her...

I also carry my swiss army outdoorsman and a gerber bear grylls folding knife with me alot. I love the grip on the BG knives so much my wife bought me the fixed blade bigger knife with the included firestarter for me for christmas and it lives in the back of the jeep. I have used it many times...

She is settling in so nicely. I am beyond happy with our little husky. She is the sweetest, kindest, gentlest big dog we have ever encountered. Great for Colin.

Ha ha, she is still getting used to our home. She still whines for her old home. But she does like to talk about going outside etc. She is limited to our fenced in back garden because she has not had her vaccinations. So we are being very cautious with her for the time being. We love her...
