Hello All
RE: Halters verses Collars. and High lining.
Here is what I am looking at in my part of the country. (East Coast)
I am not going to picket Pete and Sam, They are good with it especially in open ground. On Collars.
But I can see not a hazard to the goats but a tripping hazard with the stake out lines. For the City Folk.
My first "Target" overnight camp will be Paris Mountain North Lake Greenville SC.
A City Folk State Park. No long trails and the "primitive sites" (5) are geared to Mountain bikers/Entry level Back Packers. That is fine for me, I fall in the Entry Level Goat Packing Category.
High Line with out seeing what there is to tie off to, I am concerned about Cloths Lining a biker cutting through camp. Non-Camping type Mountain Biker.
Walk through hikers I am not worried about total Trail Round Trip into North Lake from parking area 5 miles.
I am planning a "Scouting" walk through, call it a training mission to recon the site and trails soon, with the boys.
From the discussion above I will use collar's for tie out. "High Line"
Only have one goat halter anyway.
If I am lucky by the time I do the recon, I'll have a couple soft packs on both of them, No real weight but just to get them used to the packs on their sides.
One More Question:
Opinions / Benefits of "Chain" collars verses Web or leather dog collars?
All ideas are welcome.
Thanks to all
Happy Trails
