Which of the following do you think is the safest way to travel?

Unbelievable…and, that you’re being accompanied by four dogs! Well, for me, it would be a combination of 2 and 3 for all the obvious reasons. Safe travels, should this become a reality.

Whatever you do, make sure you’re never more than a days walk from a city. You never know what could happen. Also, I’d suggest getting the numbers of hotels in cities along the route. Even if you don’t stay there, you can call them up if an emergency happens. Oh yeah, I guess I’m assuming you’ll have a cell… but thats probably a good idea anyway :)

Hope the trip is a blast. Sounds like a great idea.

I think that walking would be safer, in terms of being pulled by the dogs. If four dogs pull in one direction, a bike would probably fall.

I’d say biking, just because it’ll be easier physically, and you’ll be able to cover a lot of ground. Just make sure the dogs can keep up.

I would prefer 3 or something along those lines. Like @roundsquare said, always be near civilization lest an emergency should occur (God forbid) and also never be more than a day’s walk from a city. BUt this is just me, being very cautious. However your dogs could definitely help you out there too ;) Happy camping/walking/bicycling etc. Have a great trip!

@MissA Indeed, Thank you.
@roundsquare That is very wise, ‘never more than 1 day ..’. Though I’ve had the opportunity to put that in action already in thepast, thank you for the reminder. Good point, always useful to have both ‘Plan Bs’ and references. Absolutely.
Of course. I’ll have my mobile phone and I’m also looking for an affordable GPS. You never know.
@jfos I take my dogs out every day, whether to run errands or just for a walk,
With my bike. and they all stay on one side because they’ve been trained to do so.
No one pulls anyone whilst in motion. they run alongside me.
I appreciate the concern but, I already know what I’m talking about, mate. Cheers.
@PacificToast Of course. They usually have more energy than I do when we go on an outing for the day. :)
@mollypop51797 I’m going into true civilisation: Nature and absence of population. Cities are ‘useful’ for emergencies.
If you’ve ever been to Italy, you know what I mean…

@mollypop51797 Though I understand what you mean…and you do well to be cautious… especially in days like these.
Thank you : )

I’m just curious… how are you going to carry stuff for 4 dogs? I mean, they’d need a lot of food right? You mention you know what you’re doing, so this is just out of curiosity.

@roundsquare Been there, done that. I’ve built a sort of trolley thingy that I attach to the baggage holder at the back of my bike. It rolls along, even on a bumpy dirt road. It can hold 25 kilos. that’s what I’ve tried, but I suspect it could hold more.
Dried food, especially, dried by myself: lightwight, nourishing, lasting… tasty and healthy. Dried meat, dried rice (but I didn’t dry this one), etc… if necessary hot water can be added. And I’ve got a cooker, obviously. Enough for 2 months ½..maybe 3.

@Anatelostaxus Very cool. Sounds like a great idea for a trip.
