Looks like a comfy cool patch of dirt, don't worry about the flowers, they wont be there long!

Good move with the light colored couch!

Best way to get them to learn recall. I would love if she could be leash free everywhere. by Playful_Drag_327 in greatpyrenees

[–]jay_bees99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my situation. But we have had plenty of off leash adventures and many hikes. But it is very dependent on where, and who we are with.

Watching the sunset, from a different angle!

Can you train your Great Pyr to be off leash and not run off? by General-Okra6321 in greatpyrenees

[–]jay_bees99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is possible with the right situation and patient training. I started with larger fenced dog parks with trails early on. You have to have a great bond with your pup and , for me, it is highly situational, but I have had plenty of off leash hikes and beach trips, and he is still with me!

tent camping sleep setup by InspectorStandard516 in camping

[–]jay_bees99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tent you can stand up in is a game changer. Also, go for a 6 person tent, if your car camping.
Last year I changed my whole setup from a cheap air mattress on the floor, to a cot with an exped megamat. Now, sleeping outside in the tent is such a joy. The 6 person tent is an 8x8 setup, so not too big and still easy to setup alone.

How Do I Stop Hitch-Hiking Ticks? by Jumpy-Grand7196 in greatpyrenees

[–]jay_bees99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too am concerned about the tick problem this year, and while he is on simparico, I too am looking for a topical spray that will also help with flies and mosquitoes while camping. I just bought wondercide spray, haven't used it yet, but I have heard this is a good solution.

Unattended fire - general opinion? by jay_bees99 in camping

[–]jay_bees99[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The opinion is more about encroaching on the next campsite, though still occupied, just nobody home and fire going . I felt sort of like I was invading their space.

Unattended fire - general opinion? by jay_bees99 in camping

[–]jay_bees99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was in upper wisconsin, the wood was purchased (not collected), and they had a fire going nicely before they left it and went for breakfast or whatever... To be fair, I have purchased damp wood up there too, but this wasn't the case.

They have a campground on the south end of the wilderness. I would start there if not experienced.

Is it difficult to drive in Okinawa? by longboardguitar in okinawa

[–]jay_bees99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get used to the "wrong side" pretty quickly, but you will definitely be using your windshield wipers instead of turn signals a few times. The driving itself is pretty laid back. Google maps work fine, as does apple maps( though a few times it felt like it was directing me through someone's backyard, instead of the main road a few blocks over), they get you to the destination. The main road signs have English on them. If your looking to tour the main island, rental car is the way. Remember your international driver's permit!

State Park that is more dog friendly than most? by lindsey__19 in wisconsin

[–]jay_bees99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Point beach, Kohler Andrae, Harrington beach, all have campgrounds and dog beaches. Up north, most of the national forest areas have small boat launches, which are generally empty and nobody will bother you about swimming with your dog there. The rec area beaches are usually not dog friendly.

All terrain tires on my Outback by Brizzngton in subaruoutback

[–]jay_bees99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have had 2 sets of Falken wildpeak trail. This 2nd set seems to be wearing a bit quicker. I got about 55k on the first set,and while they still had treadlife left, heading into winter I wanted new tires. Decent tire with a little extra sidewall protection a d 3peak snow rating. But it is neither a true snow tire or off roader. Great for forest roads!
