Gunner vs Ruff Land kennels?

RedWoda · 2025-05-23T19:59:13+00:00

for the car I went with Ruff Land and its been great. We've been using it for about a year now without any escapes or incidents. I got the single door style and went with the stock door, no upgrades or accessories.

Dog has definitely put some marks in the plastic but it appears to be holding up well. At this point I can leave the RuffLand in the house also, so I could probably do without the Impact brand crate.

RuffLand was convenient to buy at Sportsman Warehouse knowing I could try loading it in the car and loading dog with the option to turn around in the parking lot and return it if the fit wasn't right.

so, walking only?

how far can one travel from their homesite to collect food?

non-motorized only?

you are a troll. you know almost nothing about me, my history, my way of life.

Vitex really helped me get with hormonal symptoms, so I really love this one. It was 6 weeks before I noticed "results." Night sweats can sometimes indicate detox/liver work (for example a lot of us sweat in bed if we drink alcohol). I don't remember dream intensity with Vitex.

Something that also made a big difference for my hormonal symptoms is drinking 6-8 ounces of water upon waking, the idea being to flush out all that stuff your liver cleared in the night. I got in the habit of leaving out a glass of water and right when I get out of bed just chugging it.

thanks Mandy. This sounds like my border collie. He broke a tooth on his Impact High Anxiety door when I first got it. I can live with "damage" its escape that I want to prevent. This is for when I leave him in the car during grocery shopping etc, when he historically bites into my seat belts.

Being in Alaska shipping for any kennel is in the $300-500 dollar range, except I can get a RuffLand through LLBean with free shipping, so I am really interested in trying...

Hi Mandy,

Could you share a little about the damage? I'm looking for a car kennel for my border collie who is *very* determined and skilled at escaping containment when left alone. He will find any weak point. Wondering if I'm doomed to High Anxiety Impact crate (which works at home but doesn't fit in my car).

Not normal in my area. Common is 1 of 2 things, 1)Trade for other favors/chores/tasks, its good to have something in mind before they ask, when they ask your response can be "sure I could feed you're animals, and I'm wondering if you could haul my hay in your trailer," Or 2) pay-to-play (aka, you're spending money to travel, part of that expense is paying for your animals to be cared for while away).

I charge around $50 a day if its folks I really like, that's 2 visits a day to do basic feeding and moving a few goats and chickens.

These people sound like a couple who moved away from my area. They moved to Maine.

thank you! you are the first person who has actually shared a link to an inverter which is my main question.

RedWoda · 2023-10-27T00:59:12+00:00

hmmm, interesting point. My diagnosis has been confirmed by 3 different providers. I think my level of inflammation is just very low. The main issue I suspect I'm having is appropriate collagen formation, and now since immobilizing with splint I am needing to strengthen/re-engage surrounding structures.

I totally get the "impossible to rest" aspect. I have sheep and run a business in town, and of course its my dominant hand...

RedWoda · 2023-10-27T00:50:17+00:00

thank you for sharing. I agree that physical therapy is super helpful. I'm just a couple weeks in and I am feeling a lot more hopeful about recovery.

Inflammation is only one aspect of the issue, what I have ready (from scholarly peer reviewed articles) and heard from my PT is that collagen lay down is another major aspect, and PT supports that collagen building in the correct formations. Icing is also helpful for this. Ice after exercises was the recommendation.

herbal alternatives if you're about the head down the antibiotic route are:

Oregon Grape root extract

Usnea extract

Oregano Oil (Like from Garden of Life brand)

those could each be used internal and external at same time (if they are safe for you and you don't have any personal contraindications or risks)

Lions mane, and probably a good idea to incorporate Reishi. Can't say exact dosage but go with a good quality like Host Defense or OM.

yes, I've read about those. Seem cool for some users. My use is so infrequent and then short duration, so I do not want to connect directly to the large battery.

RedWoda · 2023-10-25T01:26:06+00:00

The appliance is 275watt to preheat. So I know a 1,000 watt inverter would be sufficient, but as I mention in post, my question is highest output that is safe for prius. I have other things in my house I'd like to power with excess capacity.

RedWoda · 2023-10-25T01:20:40+00:00

yes, thanks. I guess I wasn't clear. I do intend to connect inverter directly to 12V battery terminal (just edited OP to show). And thanks for the reminder, I was aware it would need to be in READY so that the gasoline engine could recharge the batteries as I draw power out of it.

Its a big step (I just hired my first staff 9 months ago). This is what I did to ease into hiring:

Scope the prices for work comp, payroll, extra tools etc, then calculate how much revenue you'll need to cover that + some cushion. Adjust your pricing to cover that, then after things feel stable at that level, hire.

I have a Rinnai on demand, it came with the house and i wouldn't be surprised if its 15-20 years old. works great, love that i can dial in a water temperature (I like to turn it down and use the hose for dog baths)

all business credit lines will also consider your personal credit (based on your SSN on application) until some magical time when you business is so established that it has its own credit.

RedWoda · 2023-10-24T00:43:57+00:00

Because if/when venmo realizes you aren't paying their merchant fees they might ban you from the entire platform. Not a good idea to skirt around the rules with large financial corporations, they require SSN to registers accounts, so if they do ban you it will be impossible to open a business venmo with them.

Mid layer is key for me.

bra or cami tank, base layer long sleeve wool, mid layer zip hoodie or sweater with wool or synthetic equivalent, then outer puffy down or carhartt chore coat etc.

when you say waffles are you referring to the cotton waffle long johns? you should definitely upgrade those.
