[discussion] What would your solution be for long haul travel with animals?
To explain my question, and why I'm asking it:
I've had this debate in the past with someone who was anti-car but didn't really know why other than that it was popular in his social circle.
I'm distinctly curious what a solution for unusual travel habits would be without cars.
My situation is thus; I rather frequently do cross-country, round trips. Simple enough, right? Well, it gets more complicated than that. I show dogs. I need to take myself, potentially a friend or two, and on average 4 dogs several hundred miles, along with all the equipment.
For a fun experiment, this is the details of the show that I'm currently planning this month:
- 4 hours from my house by car
- 2 humans, 4 dogs
- 10 36" dog crates
- 1 36" folding grooming table
- Extra equipment that would fill a large suitcase, roughly speaking.
- two small containers of clothing
- cooler of dog food (frozen)
- vault of dog food (kibble)
I drive a Honda CRV for reference, 31mpg average.
You're viewing a single thread.
You don’t understand, on a very fundamental level, what this sub and being anti car is actually about man.
Probably. But then, my only experience with it is one dude who felt that if it required a car, you shouldn't do it at all, and everyone should move to a city like NYC or Seattle to use public transportation like buses.
Well then your friend doesn’t understand it either and you shouldn’t lump him in with us.
Your friend sounds like a made-up strawman.
Dude, I wish. That's why I'm asking here - because he was -wild- and I know that isn't what being anti-car is about... at least, I'd hope not anyhow.
If it makes it better, his name is Ben and we went to college together lol!
