Easy travels with the Pup!

Who would have guessed I had the BEST camping dog?!?! Has your dog ever been on a road trip? Don't worry, you can do it! My dog is usually only in the car for 10-20 minutes at a time. So traveling almost 3000 miles, you better believe I prepped and planned ahead to make it easy on him as well as on us! I listed 7 of my best tips and products that made traveling with a dog much easier.  1. CBD! We used PetlyCBD and it worked great for our 120lb pup! No, it didn't put him to sleep, he still had personality and was ready for hikes, but it took the edge off his excitement and made the car rides a breeze! 2. Stop every 2-3 hours so your dog can pee. This helped so all our stops were planned and we never had to stop at random places that may not have been convenient. And we never had to deal with whimpering in the car and wondering if he needed to take a leak. 3. Search "L esotc Pet Water Bottle" on Amazon. This is the BEST purchase for our trip! It's not breakable, all

Maiden Voyage - Go Big or Go Home!

(Farragut State Park in North Idaho) We did it all backwards and it was awesome! Cart before the horse. Go big or go home. A lot of first time campers will “practice“ with a local campsite before taking off on a further, longer vacation. It’s a great way to practice without fully diving in, but for me, it just seemed a waste of time. Only because I can be impatient and anxious. I’d rather spend all my energy, time, and money going on the vacation I want to be at. If you want to practice but need to save money and time, you can always rough it out while it’s parked at your own house. Or you can “go big” and just wing it with your first vacation at just under 3,000 miles. Just do a lot of research before your trip so you know what you’re doing and what supplies you need. Pack light and travel safely.  My three must have apps: All trails app Gas buddy app, then use Google Maps to ensure it’s rv friendly  Rvlife campsites app
