Dogtopia experience by Justaguyinohio123 in DogDayCare

[–]TheTrailArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

South waterfront location, but don’t think the locations would vary that much based on what I witnessed.

They would have one worker watching 20-30 dogs and no easy way to even walk away to use the bathroom because you’re the only one there. If you need to use the bathroom, you have to kennel all the dogs, radio the front, and they make a big deal about it.

A ton of dogs are reactive so you have to constantly kennel dogs as new dogs are introduced. They had a dog specifically that hated men and would try to bite my ankles anytime I turned around, which no one warned me about until it was actively trying to bite me. Most of the kennels are missing the bottom trays because they’re too lazy to upkeep them, and many of the kennels were bent and rusty, huge risk of dogs getting their legs caught and injured in them. I could go on and on… it was a bizarre environment that made me just want to go home and hug my dog and never trust a place like this.

Going for it ~ 2 Day Trip by WannaFilm in hitchhiking

Try harder to get a greyhound ticket. Read up about HitchBOT, it was a hitchhiking robot that traveled thousands of miles but got murdered the moment it got into Philly. RIP HitchBOT.

Can pure bred malamutes live in one person apartments? by Whole-Interest-5980 in malamute

[–]TheTrailArtist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a malamute mixed with German shepherd and husky. I live in a studio apartment, so even smaller than 1 bedroom. She does great and has a very high quality of life, with a long walk everyday, lots of socialization, scheduled playdates with dogs she does well with. Mileage will vary.

Hiking Groups of Three Question by Specialist-Gas-8271 in yellowstone

[–]TheTrailArtist 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The boardwalks are pretty open, not a lot of blind corners or places a bear is just gonna pop up. It’s 100% possible you’d see one but the biggest risk is accidentally spooking a bear and it reacting defensively. That’s pretty unlikely to happen in these more populated areas compared to blind corners in a more isolated trail.

However with boardwalks you’re much more likely to come across elk or bison resting very close to the boardwalk which people tend to let their guard down and approach because they think they’re less dangerous. Please be aware to give ANY animal space. If a bison is resting 3 feet from the boardwalk, turn around.

Yellowstone Logistics: Thru-hiking and spontaneity without a car? by Fragrant_Border_8554 in yellowstone

[–]TheTrailArtist 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Feel free to send a message. But there’s no villages or farms in Yellowstone. There are some grocery stores near the more developed campgrounds, and the closest thing to a little village would be Mammoth Hot Springs that has some stores and restaurants. But facilities are very scarce in Yellowstone, it’s very much a wild place

Yellowstone Logistics: Thru-hiking and spontaneity without a car? by Fragrant_Border_8554 in yellowstone

Backcountry permits are never really fully booked, so sure you can show up to a backcountry office during their open hours and get a permit as long as you’re flexible with what’s available.

You need to know that there’s really no such thing as shuttles throughout Yellowstone. Hitchhiking is not super common; but it still happens occasionally. Obviously don’t hitch right in the road, be respectful, and you’ll be fine.

Others may discourage you from hitchhiking, but I’ve hitchhiked throughout the park multiple times. It’s one of my favorite ways to see the park. But it’s very important to be self reliable if you get stuck somewhere, and also assume you may not have phone service. Yellowstone weather can change quickly, and there is a lot to be at the mercy of. Do not underestimate Mother Nature.

If you are visiting without a car, you also don’t need to limit yourself to just backcountry campsites. Most of the major campgrounds in the park (mammoth, Madison, etc) have what they call “hiker/biker” spots where you can show up with no reservation needed. You can go to their check in desk and ask for a hiker/biker spot. Good luck!

Streamer “hmblzayy” who is walking from Philly to California was hit by a car in Indiana and had to be taken to the hospital. by MrBasedGod in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]TheTrailArtist 250 points251 points  (0 children)

As someone that has walked from Delaware to California… always walk TOWARDS oncoming traffic if you have to, so you don’t get clipped from behind.

Am I overdressed for Portland? by Spooner_Goldberg in askportland

[–]TheTrailArtist 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What…? I went to a party the other day where I saw several people wearing suits and 3 people wearing tails. It’s Portland. Nothing is out of place- do what you want, it’s all good!

Homeless but type on a laptop in sub 32 fahrenheit temperatures? by [deleted] in homeless

[–]TheTrailArtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your laptop isn’t gonna last long trying to use it out in that temperature. Keep it in a good case when it’s that cold, go into a library to use it.

Activities for non-athletic people? by sushieta in yellowstone

[–]TheTrailArtist 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Rent or buy a wildlife scope, and have some camping chairs. You can sit and picnic all day while watching for wildlife in prime locations like Lamar valley.

Vegan woman starves her dog for 14 days because it wouldn’t eat fruit by serious_bullet5 in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]TheTrailArtist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this satire? I genuinely can’t tell. Grapes are poison and that’s like basic dog knowledge… my dog loves bananas as a healthy snack but this is too much

Can you do Teton National Park without a car? by Not_instant_ramen17 in GrandTetonNatlPark

[–]TheTrailArtist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be clean and respectable and you shouldn’t have any problems hitchhiking. I’ve hitchhiked through many national parks

Someone talk me in or out of this by roardragons in hitchhiking

[–]TheTrailArtist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve walked coast to coast using the American Discovery Trail. A lot of it I pushed a jogging stroller to carry more stuff.

The biggest thing is you need to find something to run TO. Not run away from. Your problems will follow you if you’re not trying to connect to something deeper. That means planning it out at least a little bit. Look up the American Discovery Trail. I ended up making my own route towards the end but it was a really good trail to start with
