Oh that's great, thanks for sharing! I'm heading out there again next week so will have more smiling dog videos soon!

Yup, I know. It’s an old video I made before I knew better. KZbin doesn’t let me change music after uploading. I have several other videos of the same region with much more ear pleasing sounds/music if you’d like to check those out.

Thanks!

I thought about it, definitely. I was worried that I’d end up just killing myself. I’m not super good at the game yet so there was a high chance of doing something stupid. But yeah, wow was that tempting.

i mean u got the W so all good

Thank you! Cheers!

Hi! Depends a bit on the age of the kids. For William (my nephew), he did about three lessons a week for 4 years to get to black belt, starting at about 8 years old. Then another three years for the second degree black belt. Generally speaking, the older you are the quicker you can progress

It was! After this I have gone back 6 times. I had no idea how important that week away from the "real world" would be. No cell phones, no electricity, no internet. It's amazing how unplugging from your day-to-day life can reboot your outlook

@@FocusOnAdventure I'm really envious, especially since i love dogs and snow :) well unfortunately as times are with covid and shit i won't be making such a trip soon ): but i have a beautiful lab at home, again nice video

To make you angry

Hi! There's a lot there that I don't know. I can set up and run a team but when I show up the gear is already picked out for me. The line is basically in sections for two, and if you want to add another pair you just attach another section. The first section attaches to the sled, and then after that it's just an extension. The extensions work for a pair or a single. They are set up like a "Y". Single line for a few feet and then spit into two. If you're running a single at the font you just attach both ends of the "Y" to the same harness. This place looks like it has most of the gear you would need: www.alpineoutfitters.net/collections/ganglines

@@FocusOnAdventure thank youu!!!

I live in Mexico city (temperate weather, rainy summer, cold nights and cold early mornings, cold to very cold winter). The hotter time can be found at spring and summer afternoons and even in the first middle of those nights. I promote the sledding behavior with my dogs. The first time it was with an akita and a mix (napolitan mastiff+akita). Those two male dogs loved to run and pull with all their heart, mind and soul. Nowadays my sister helps dog shelters to find new owners for some dogs and she chose two females to live with my parents, one is a malinois shepherd and the other is kind of a pit-bull. Both of them love to run like crazy, very very energetic, right next to a bicycle. They don't stop to smell every tree or make marks, evenly they rarely stop to release their digestive system content. And they always start running as hell after any stop lapse. I use a regular chest harness and a double 8 mm dynamic rope with two single lock carabiners. We have been training a 6 to 10 Km (3.6 to 6 miles) route every two days. And we have increased the route to 12 Km one every six sessions. The route is very hilly and, apparently, they don't like much middle day sun and temperature. Now that colder days are coming, I will try to improve their comfort choosing better time of the day, every time. I hope, with proper fitness training, we can reach easy going 20 Km (13 miles) soon.

Awe I'm Jealous! I haven't figure out yet if I'm going to make it up there this winter, I really missed not going last season. So there is no place to charge batteries, just gotta bring a bunch extra. For my go pros and iPhone I had decent sized charging brick that would last 6-7 days. For my main camera I just brought about 4 batteries. Hope that helps, have fun!

Thanks!

Hi. This is an older video, I can’t change the music at this point. This film from the same location has better music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2rNkmObrautmtE

I did this in February 2023. The best experience in my life!

They are Siberian Huskies. They are such an awesome breed. Extremely friendly and cuddly, and also very strong and dedicated.

@@FocusOnAdventure They're beautiful too!

I agree, but I can't do anything about it now. Here's a newer video of the same location: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2rNkmObrautmtE

Yes Marcus is truly a legend! Unfortunately he’s retired from being a full time guide. I’m hoping to talk him into a couple more trips here and there. The first trip I went on was by myself, but the people I met were amazing. We keep in touch through the summer and some of us return every year for another adventure. It’s great going out with 7 good friends. Doesn’t look like 2021 will happen, might have to skip a year.

Hi! So I may not be the best person ask, as I'm not a local. I traveled down there for a month in January to attend the school. The soaring locations in the video are very good for beginners, and I in fact miss it very much. No trees on takeoff, wide open beach to land on, and steady winds. Hard to find that anywhere else in the world.. March-Sept would definitely be the off season, so the flyable days would be rare. When I went in January I flew every single day. I'd say your best bet would be to reach out to Reuben and/or Eva at Wings and Waves Paragliding, they can give you a better answer. Best of luck!

@@FocusOnAdventure okay, thank you so much!! I messaged Eva and will see what she'll respond. The soaring locations look actually so beautiful and I'm glad that they are for beginners; maybe I'll attend a course in the first weeks and then I can fly by myself. Amazing video by the way:D

Hi! I’m from New Zealand. Just getting in to paragliding! I’m in the Waikato! It’s the best country ever!

Yeah it was a tough spot. Since I was last in line the trail was in the worst condition and more spots had filled with water. The teams at the front of the line were able to make it through with less effort. The dogs don't exactly "listen" to the tourists and are trained to just follow the sled in front, so I didn't have the option to blaze a new path. We probably did about 5 miles that day, had 3-4 spots like seen in the video, so it was small sections of the overall day but very tough spots. I've been on 7 trips and that remains the hardest day by far (this video is my first trip). Our guide, Marcus, has always said that day remains the most difficult he's had over his career. He's the most experienced guide in the region and if there was another option he would have found it. So it's very unusual, we just got unlucky with conditions. As for the water, I certainly hope it's not polluted as that's our drinking water for the week! And yes I do think the water hurts their feet, as it will freeze between their paws and many times on breaks they will lick their feet trying to clear it. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Door county in particular had so much red in the trees, it was incredible.
