I started a list and it was getting a little long to fit in my suitcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joan of Arc Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 Are we talking 'personal' items or show equipment? Oh GOd!! I just started a list for you and then thought s*#t this is a looooong list and that was just for me. Equipment? One day or ten you take the same stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsfevr Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I no longer go buy the travel light theory,i simply do the i must have & the just in case items. To often i have tried the travel light & regretted leaving something home because i thought it wasn't a really needed item but having said that i take more having coated breeds anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkySoaringMagpie Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Once for a local show where I was only showing a smooth saluki, I rocked up at the grounds with a water bowl, his ordinary lead and collar and a show lead. I may have had a rubber brush in the car to buff up his coat. He won a class in group that day. That is my personal best on packing light, if OH is there with an Afghan, it's a whole other story and for a weekend away I tend to plan for weather issues and a range of other things that really work against packing light. In your shoes I would buddy up with a local who likes you enough to let you share their set up!

Havasneeze Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I am heading off for less than two days to a weekend with three shows. Taking two dogs.What would you take for such a quick trip? I started a list and it was getting a little long to fit in my suitcase When I go away for a quickie I take 2 or 3 dogs, one puppy pen, one trolley & my grooming box. Also PP20's for the smaller dogs & PP40 if I take the bigger girl. My bag for me is one of the smaller type and I only take what fits in it... I also take a small chiller bag with 1kg of chicken necks & some proplan in a container. That's my idea of travelling light... I also try to go to places I have been before, like where I know there is shade which means I don't have to take the gazebo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
