Essentials for hitting the trails.
my recommendations for taking on the nature trails
Running shoes
running shoe are an essential if you love to take on the challenges of the trials. as they offer better comfort and grip on the ground surface. i would highly recommend getting under Armour running shoes as they are very breathable,comfortable and would make your run a lot more enjoyable.
Amostec running vest it great to have when your enjoying the nature trails. There is 5 pockets on the vest where you can put your phone and keys to prevent them from falling out your pocket and save you having any worry about losing your personal items . It also comes with a 500ml bottle that is another essential we all need when taking on the trails.
must have for your furry companions.
Lead harness's & collar's
lead & collar are essentials when taking your furry friends out. a few places mentioned in the previous blogs require you to have your pets on a lead at all times.
Collar
If you only use a collar when you walk your furry friend i would recommend going for a heavy duty collar or half choke collar. both these type of collar come with there own benifits. heavy duty collar normally tent to last a bit longer and some come with a handle on top for greater control on the other hand half choke collar can be great for training your dog not to pull and allow a little bit more room around the neck. with this being said if you have a furry companion that like to pull or is a reactive i would highly recommend using a harness and only use the collars for training.
Harnes
if you are looking for harnes that would last i recommend getting rabbitgoo Dog Harness as this is a strong harness that last a lot longer that other i have had in the past. rabbitgoo comes in a variety of sizes and colors so it is perfect for all dog breads.
lead
i personally prefer the retractable leads as i take my dog to different nature trails and it allows him that bit of extra space to explore i would recommend Flexi as this offers 8M lead with a max weight of 50kg.
What i bring along on my journey
When exploring nature trials with my daughter and our dog there is a few thing i like to bring.
Backpack
i recommend getting MATEIN Travel Laptop Backpack as this offers loads of room and pockets to store everything you need when exploring. i always pack a change of cloths for my daughter and some drinks and sack for our-self and our dog and this backpack if perfect for that with more room available. however these type of backpacks are a bit bulky and can hold a good amount of weight so if you are carry heavy items i would recommend planing stops along your journey.
sun cream
sun cream is another item i like to bring along with me as you can never be to sure on the British weather
Snacks & drinks
i always bring snack and drinks along with us as you can never be to sure when the dehydration or hunger might kick in although many of these location have places you can pop in to eat you can easily get carried away exploring the trails and not reliase how far you have traveled.
mini first add kit
i bring a mini first add kit along with us just in case anything happens as a safety caution.
portable charger
i have recently found myself bringing along a portable charger with me as i have found myself nearly getting lost whiles exploring different location and the last thing i want to do is get lost with no way of communication.
fitness tracker / watches
if you enjoying concering the nature trails i would highly suggest getting yourself a fitness tracker/watch as they offer so many benefits to yourself. if you anything like me and having to stop when enjoying a jog due to your phone or other items falling out my pockets purchasing ones of these is great as some models you can connect to you phone so you having got the worry of it falling out your pocket.
Water bottle
when on your journeys with your furry companion it is extremely important you keep them hydrated and i have found the perfect product does that and more. the SWIND dog water bottle offer not only the water bottle you also get a built in bow and food compartment to keep your furry friend nourished along your journeys.
