Gear
We've accumulated a collection of gear for sledding and scootering. The main set sits in large transport case on the back of the RV, with harnesses inside by the dog boxes. Here's our summary of stuff to complement the sled, scooter and rig.
Sled Stuff
Snow hook (from Critterwood).
Snub lines (2, with quick release, to tie the sled or rig off while hooking up).
Dog bag (from Nooksack Racing Supplies, designed to fit the sled).
Handle bar bag (from Nooksack).
Snow hook bag.
Handle bar mittens.
Sled, Scooter, Rig Lines
8 dog gang line (3 2-dog modular team sections, 1 leader section). We've changed how we run lines -- we have an 18" neck line attached to the end of the harness and shorter (30") tug lines, and use Tug Line Toggles instead of snaps. Moving the attachement back 18" eliminates the snap hitting the dog (and the likelyhood of getting poop on it), and hooks are easier to deal with in the cold.
Bungie neck lines.
Regular neck lines.
Scooter lines (2 sets).
Locking carabiniers.
Dog Stuff: Harnesses, Collars, ...
H back harnesses (various).
X back harnesses (various sizes). It's taken awhile to figure out what works best for us, and what fits the different dogs (fitting harnesses is an art). Our main harnesses are now lightweight X-backs from dogbooties.com
