Pug Lov
i dont know if i should take my 2 pugs with my family were going camping for my birthday and i love both of them but at the camp grounds you cant leave your dog alone because they think the'll "disturb wildlife" and they cant be on a leash longer than 6ft
so then i feel bad because i dont think i could take them in the tent, and i dont wanna leave them outside tied up because im not sure what wild animals there are.
PLEASE HELP!!!
im like really confused
p.s. it would be a 1.5 hr drive in the car
i cant put a run because it will ruin the soil thats what it said and i dont wanna leave them in a kennel and i read that there are racoons,and opossioms
well i guess i could put them in the tent but the thing is that there brother and sister and im kinda afraid that hes gonna try to.... and he barks at cats and other animals in my backyard

We take our dogs camping all the time and they love it. When they see us getting out the camping supplies they go crazy. If yo are that concerned kennel them or have someone watch them while you go but they love it! Here is what we take when we bring our Deaf Jack Russell Terrier and Lab/Pointer Mix camping with us:
extendable leashes 1 for each dog
short leashes 1 for each dog ( good for being in canoes)
chains or rope to tie to tree or bumper of van so the dogs can be outside with us when we are at the campsite and they can't run loose
Water and food bowls
plastic bags to pick up poop
first aid kit for dogs (most pet stores carry them)
collapseable pen- you can find these at pet stores and places like that. They fold up so they don't take up uch room when you aren't using them. They unfold and they are usually 4x4 so they can be comfortable. my only suggestion would be to get stakes of some kind to secure the pen to the ground so they can't knock it over
Plenty of toys
Towels and blankets for them to lay on and clean them up when they get in the tent with you
Treat them for ticks/fleas a few days before you leave. I like Advantix because it keeps, ticks, fleas, mosquitos and all the babies off. Vet or Pet Store
Plenty of treats for them
Keep this stuff in a separate bag or tupperware container. That way you have it ready whenever you go camping again or are going out of town with the dogs. My two know what their bag looks like and they get really excited when we take it out because they know they are going somewhere. The only other advice I can give is make sure that you watch the pugs eyes when walking around in the woods or anything. As you know their eyes bug out and they can get hurt easliy. Other than that have fun and take them with you. They will love it and you will too.

free camping near Indian Lake, Adirondacks?
operation8
I know there's a DEC place on the shore for 20/night but this is just a two person trip for four days and it'd be great to save the money. anywhere near Indian Lake is good, we just want to be in that area because its in the middle of some decent hikes. Anywhere you know of that's free in the Adirondacks, let me know because I'll eventualy take advantage of it since I try to go twice a year.
Answer
You do not have to pay for primitive camping. You have to be at least 150 feet off the road and you can camp on any state land in this area. You need a permit if you camp for more than 3 nights in the same location (just call the forest ranger for the free permit.) This is not a national forest and it is a long way from Green Mountain with is in VT. This is the Adirondack Park which is the largest state park in the lower 48 (6 million acres). You only have to pay in maintained campsites with bathrooms (outhouses). Be aware that there is very little in the way of shopping in this area so make sure you bring everything you need. There are general stores in the villages but they do not carry much. Your nearest real shopping is in the Glens Falls region which is 1 1/2 hours away. You cannot carry firewood into this area unless it has been treated. They will arrest you and take the wood. Local wood for campers is fairly expensive and you cannot carry it more than 50 miles (they are trying to prevent the spread of a beetle that kills maple trees). A camp stove to cook on is the best bet. Keep track or where you are and where the road is. Make sure you tell the forest ranger where you are camping and put a note on your windshield. People get lost every year. Cell phones do not work in the Adirondacks. You can camp anywhere that you can get your car off the road.
Call the Forest Ranger (Forest Rangers in Region 5 - (518) 897-1303). They will give you specifics. You are supposed to tell them if you are camping so they know where to look if you don't come back. They can also tell you how to know if the land is state land (most of it is in this area). Finally, what for predators. Do not put food out overnight. You can hang your food from a tree or leave it in your car. The two worse problems are bears and skunks. Coyotes tend to run from people. Bears usually do not bother you unless you leave food out. Pepper spray can be carried but most people do not bother. This is a huge forest that is left in it's original state and cannot be developed. It is beautiful.
