trail clearing technique and tools

[ArlyA]

what are you using to protect your dogs ? just a tick repellant collar ?

We use Nexguard on them. Like Permethrin seems to make them ill and they fall off but they do bit them. They get ill from the bit.

first time I hear about this product but after a quick research it look like a very powerful product… even look too powerful for my needs … but i will ask our vet at our next visit, thank

Entirely different than Nexguard, but we used a (Bayer) Seresto collar on our dog a few years back, and similar to some of the reviews, our dog's skin reacted very poorly to it after about a week. Just an anecdote...

The Permethrin makes them ill and unable to grab a meal from you. I'd love to believe the "last for all kinds of washes, it stays on" but I don't so we don't buy the pretreated clothing.. We do retreat ours after a few washings.

The pretreated stuff does work. My oldest pretreated clothing are T shirts from Insect Shield. I estimate they have been through about 50 washes and are still working. When I used to spray my clothing with Permethrin, I'd get about 4 or 5 washes out of it before it faded and became ineffective.

I liked it enough that I now have several pairs of pretreated pants, short and long sleeved shirts, and socks (Farm to Feet Boulder "No Fly zone" socks are great!). It's been nice not have to keep track of when the last time I sprayed my clothing was.

I guess you didn’t read the rules. He makes them, not you.

Topic drift is a way of life here. No point in getting worked up about it... especially when the OP starts the drift.

Woulda been okay if the post had pictures of dogs on a trail although some of those trails look more like creeks right now.
