Going On An Outdoor Excursion

If you love to travel to far away places and take on new adventures, then you can easily say you have a great life. There is nothing wrong with doing different things and trying new experiences. You have nothing holding you back from enjoying your travels across the globe to the exotic and unknown territory.

Believe it or not, with all of the places you have seen, there is still uncharted territory you have not touched yet. Why not explore the great outdoors and see what nature has in store for you. As a matter of fact, give hunting a try. If you are good with a rifle, bring your dog along to enjoy finding some good prey to bring back to the dinner table. If your family does not want to go with you, it is ok. At least the dog is loyal and will have an awesome time with you.

Getting Prepared For The Hunting Trip

Not only do you need a couple of good rifles with ammunition, but also binoculars, animal calling devices, required clothing, first aid kit and essentials for your pet. One of the things your dog will need to help with the hunt is the Garmin Alpha 100 Dog Tracking GPS Combo. In the event you shoot a wild animal and your dog goes after it, you need a reliable tracking device in order to find him so that you can retrieve the kill.

You also need to bring food, plenty of water, along with sleeping bags and a tent if you are setting up camp. Exploring the outdoors is a fun way to be at one with nature and appreciate what it can offer you. The venison that you can fix up after a successful hunt will be well worth it. Dinner time offers you a chance to try meat you have never had before. Whether it’s raccoon, possum, buffalo, rabbit, or any type of edible meat, you catch will make an awesome meal.

Other Great Outdoor Activities

There are other outdoor excursions you can go on besides hunting. You can go fishing in the lakes and creeks. Camping out under the stars with friends is another good idea. You can go biking along the trails or get the gang together and go search for “Bigfoot” and other peculiar creatures. Your adventure is what you make of it.

There is also the most popular outdoor travel-worthy activity called hiking. If you are in for a real adrenaline rush, why not try hiking at night in the deep forests and woods. There is nothing like going on a nightly trek to see all of the wild come out. You can say that you actually had a true journey and will most likely want to do it again. This would be something your family probably would enjoy. If the hiking trip is not too challenging, you can still bring Fido along so he can have some fun, too. Your dog will enjoy being outdoors just as much as you do.

Being Safe While Enjoying Your Trip

There is so much to take in on your outdoor excursion. You need to be sure of your safety while enjoying it. You must always have on the right clothing when doing any outdoor activity in the woods and forest. A good pair of boots and long thick pants with a jacket is always a better choice than shorts and tennis shoes. You never know if you might come across snakes, or the weather may be a bit chilly.

Also, you will need a flashlight. It is good to have more than one and some very reliable batteries in case you are out at night. Having this, along with your dog, can keep you safe from harm, along with your good old handy gun. Protection is very important.

You need to remember that the great outdoors is home to some very wild animals. You are in their habitat. Even though you are hunting, you still need to show respect to the wildlife that you are not legally allowed to shoot. Other than that, enjoy your trip. – Travel Feeder
