You must have had this happen to you at one point or another; you go out camping with people who have done nothing but complain throughout the whole trip. These people go on a complete rampage when they get separated from their Facebook and television for more than twelve hours. You then end up questioning what made you even go along on this camping trip in the first place.
This must make you miss that outdoor experience by now. You want to go out, sit by the fire late in the night, sleep in the night air, look at the night sky where there are no unnatural groupings of street lights. You want to experience all these things, but without all the bickering of other people and yet you also don’t want to go out all alone. Here’s an idea.
Take your dog! When you think about the big picture, you will come to realize that you’ve had the perfect RV companion all along with you.
Before you hop into your car to drive off to that RV site, you need to ensure you have picked the best optimal site for you and your new camping partner. For sites that get cold, you need to equip yourself and your dog with cold weather gear. Know what to pack and pack everything you and your dog will need during the trip.
You most likely will consider hiking to be a large part of your camping experience, and for this reason, your dog will definitely be the best company for you on the trek. You will do a lot more sight seeing with your dog around. You will make a lot of stops here and there to breathe the country air and also look at your surroundings. Chances are that you will also notice some interesting critters during your trip that you may otherwise fail to see by yourself. Buy your dog its own supply pack that you can use to carry its supplies. You need to let your dog go out there too, be able to enjoy its inner element in the wild.
You need to make sure you are aware of the laws of the state you are going on hiking with your dog before you leave. Some states and even federal parks only allow dogs as long as they are not left to roam about freely but kept on a leash.
You need to make sure that your dog’s rabies vaccination current. You also need to check the type of vaccination certification for your dog that the state needs for your hike. Ensure that you carry the required documentation with you.
You also need to ensure that you pack a first aid kit for your dog as well just for emergencies. Another benefit is that your dog won’t ask you if you have reached your destination yet.
