To explain my question, and why I’m asking it:

I’ve had this debate in the past with someone who was anti-car but didn’t really know why other than that it was popular in his social circle.

I’m distinctly curious what a solution for unusual travel habits would be without cars.

My situation is thus; I rather frequently do cross-country, round trips. Simple enough, right? Well, it gets more complicated than that. I show dogs. I need to take myself, potentially a friend or two, and on average 4 dogs several hundred miles, along with all the equipment.

For a fun experiment, this is the details of the show that I’m currently planning this month:

  • 4 hours from my house by car
  • 2 humans, 4 dogs
  • 10 36" dog crates
  • 1 36" folding grooming table
  • Extra equipment that would fill a large suitcase, roughly speaking.
  • two small containers of clothing
  • cooler of dog food (frozen)
  • vault of dog food (kibble)

I drive a Honda CRV for reference, 31mpg average.

      Bummer! I was afraid that might be the answer. I was struggling to come up with anything on my own because none of the public transport allow dogs 😞
