Over the many years I’ve run with a four-legged friend by my side, I have tested several hands-free running leashes and certainly have my favorites. Iron Doggy is a small company based out of Austin, Texas that makes dog running leashes specifically with the runner in mind, and has[...]

We’re just entering fall in the Pacific Northwest, which means the rainy weather isn’t all that far away. Hiking in the rain scares off a lot of people, however I don’t mind. If I waited until the rain stopped, I wouldn’t go outside for five months. So, it’s just something I accept so[...]
I used to live in a small town in the Hudson Valley in New York, where I had trails literally right outside my door. I could head out and go for miles upon miles in pure bliss. The only thing missing was a dog. I suppose that began the start of my transition from road running to trail[...]

We have so many travel dog bowls. I have one permanently attached to my backpack. One that lives in the car. Another that lives in our van. We have a few that we keep in the dogs’ travel bin. Sometimes, I’ll attach one to my purse if we’re out for a long walk in the city on a hot[...]
I was all set to start designing my perfect hands free dog leash. It would have an adjustable waist clip so that I could use it for walking and running. I could also easily attach my dog to an object if I needed two hands to do something. It would have a sliding adjustment in case we[...]

As we’ve cycled over 10,000km in the last two years, there is one simple rule we have for all our gear: durability. We can’t afford to waste time, money, and energy replacing or repairing our gear. Not to mention finding suitable parts or gear on the road in the developing world can[...]
As we prepared for our multi-year cycle tour, selecting durable panniers that could accommodate our belongings was a top priority. Upon learning of Arkel from none other than the Metal Cowboy, a small Canadian company with just six office employees, we considered their line and ultimately[...]
