Adventure Dog Gear: BACKCOUNTRYK9.COM by Nutnfancy, Allie

Adventure Dog Gear: BACKCOUNTRYK9.COM by Nutnfancy, Allie Tube. Duration : 9.32 Mins.


Our dog is family. She is trained, we keep her in shape, and, from age 9 weeks onward, she has come along for the Nutnfancy adventures! "Allie the Mountain Dog," Nutnfancy, family, and friends have years of wilderness adventuring in the memory banks with hopefully more to follow. Here we introduce a great association with WWW.BACKCOUNTRYK9.COM and a way for you save money when outfitting your "dogness" just such an adventure. It's the best place I've found in equipping your adventure K9. BackcountryK9 has excellent service, selection (my favorite brands like Ruff Wear®), and good prices. Use coupon code "nutnfancy" to save even more coin. It was a cold, wet, miserable mountain dog when we filmed this vid. But outfitted up as shown, Allie stayed as comfortable as possible on this latest Nutnfancy adventure. Thanks to BackcountryK9 for supporting the TNP dogs around the world! May you also make many wonderful memories your dog as well. ///////////////////// Music: torley.com

Taking place again in the "Nutnfancy Knife Clinic" (hey we haven't been here in awhile), the solitude we achieve in this winter wonderland is breath taking. But the work sure wasn't! Making a survival camp a reality in these conditions takes a lot work (hard to appreciate really until you do it!). Allie and I simulate a stuck-out survival situation in these harsh conditions and set up a survival campsite (using the portable Coghlans® brand orange plastic tube tent). This scenario was realistic and provided good gear testing opportunities. As I've done before, I show a lot of the work necessary to find and process standing deadwood into useable dry firewood with sharp edges that ignite more readily. We fall several dead trees in the process with the Cold Steel Trail Boss axe, Norse Tomahawk (very good performance for weight), and Sawvivor backpack saw and split a few other blades too (like the Dow Coated 3400A Ontario RAT-7 knife shown!). Some may say thinner wood could be used to build a fire but usually it is rain and moisture soaked therefore is an ureliable fire STARTING source. Once your fire is hot and self-sustaining then these unprepared wood sources can be used. Be careful with these bladed tools as they can very ...
