If you don’t want to pay custom fees for your harness, especially with extra large, extra small or otherwise out of standard size dogs, make your own. This page will help you make a recreational sledding, weight pulling, carting or walking harness. If you have a very large/very small dog you’ll have to adjust the…
Years ago my grandpa made a canoe paddle, painted it red, and, in yellow block letters, added “REVERSE GEAR” to the back of the handle. I thought this was hilarious, so my grandma let me have it when Grandpa passed. When I got into paddling I wanted to have a paddle like this for trips….
There’s a few things that don’t fit anywhere else. This will list a bunch of them for easy access.
I’m not sure if these meet competition requirements, but they’re fine for recreational use. It’s easy to make your own lines, once you get the hang of it and it really saves on the price of gear. Materials: 1/4″ X 5′ hollow braid poly rope. 2 per each lead, team or wheel segment. These are…

SLEEPING BAG- Coleman 15° Mummy Holofil insulation with nylon tafeta shell. Made for folks up to 6’2″, so I swim in it at 5’4″. This extra space gives me enough room to bring my dog in if need be. Box construction on the foot gives plenty of room for my big old feet. Also plenty…
SOCKS- Wigwam Husky Socks Okay socks but…. Feel like an athletic sock but are wool. Soft, dry, warm. Didn’t lose their loft. My feet didn’t get too sweaty or get a real “feety” smell like I got with my generic wool loop knit socks. They DO lose the stretch at the top quickly leaving you…
