Mosquitos while camping?
The best part of deterring bugs is Folgers in your cup. I know it's the time of year that everyone is outside late and everyone uses a ton of bug spray and chemicals... but if you want a simple way to keep mosquitoes away without all the sticky sprays and chemicals simply get you some ground coffee in a heat safe bowl and light it like you would a candle until you get a steady stream of smoke.
It doesn't smell awful and will keep mosquitoes away from a good size area . Mosquitoes hate coffee (Google it if you don't believe me ๐ฅด) and burning it keeps them far away... You're welcome

It's going to be in the 90s all week, Don't. Take your pet. Your pet is always safer at home rather than in a hot car while you run errands, even if it's just a few minutes.
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the heat in a car can rise by:
๐ก20 degrees in just 10 minutes
๐ก30 degrees in 20 minutes
๐ก40 degrees in an hour
And guess what? Cracking the windows doesn't help.
If you see a dog in a hot car, get help. Notify the business where the car is parked so they can assist in finding the dog's owner. Provide them with the car's make, model, and license plate number. If the owner can't be found, contact the police and wait nearby for them to arrive.

โ ๏ธ๐โ ๏ธ Despite the warnings, hundreds of dogs in the U.S. die every year after being left in a hot car. Someone you know may need to read this very important message. โ ๏ธ๐โ ๏ธ
SIX MINUTES is all it takes for a dog to overheat in a hot car.
Your dog could suffer serious injury or die in a matter of minutes if left alone in a car.
โข The temperature inside a closed vehicle left in the sun can double within 12 minutes.
โข At least 75% of the temperature increase in a closed vehicle occurs within 5 minutes of closing the vehicle, and at least 89% of the temperature increase occurs within 15 minutes of closing the vehicle.
โข Temperatures exceeding 104ห F can lead to death or serious injury for the occupants.
โข Temperatures in a closed vehicle sitting in the hot sun can reach 160หF and above. An animal will suffer immeasurably and may die before the temperature reaches 150หF.
โข Even when parked in the shade, the vehicle temperatures can exceed 104หC.
โข Leaving windows down more than 2 inches on an unattended vehicle will not prevent a car from reaching extreme temperatures.
โข Even if the animal is revived, they can die due to severe internal organ damage.
Your dog trusts you to have their best interest at heart ALWAYS.
Please donโt risk their safety.
If you are not taking your dog inside your destination with you, PLEASE leave them at home where they are comfortable and safe.

I would like to remind you that itโs the time of year to see turtles crossing our roads. Please give them a brake and if possible help move them along. I'm not asking you to jeopardize your safety but if you can, please help. Make sure you nudge them in the direction they were headed or your help could have been in vain. Please whatever you do DO Not remove the turtle from the area in which you found it . Simply move the turtle safely off the road in the same direction in which it was traveling .
Turtles everywhere thank you. ๐ข๐.....

If you have a dog that bolts, a scared dog or a dog you donโt know that you are transporting, this tip is super helpful. Close the handle of the leash in your door. That way you can grab it before ever opening the door. (It also helps keep the dog from moving around a bunch in the car.)
A couple points to clarify:
-ideally an impact resistant crate would be used for transport
-seat belts and tethers are also good when used with harnesses
Unfortunately there are lots of instances where people canโt afford or donโt have these items so a leash on the door is better than nothing.
Clarifying point 2:
This post isnโt necessarily for owners. If you own dogs, yes you should have proper safety equipment. But a lot of people transport dogs for various reasons and cannot always have dog safety equipment on board. People find loose dogs.
People transport for rescues and donโt control what the animal comes with. People foster and are given โsuppliesโ which rarely include seatbelts/tethers and harnesses. And sometimes people have too many dogs to have space for enough crates.
This is just a quick tip for people who donโt have other safety measures. If you have those, great. If this post can save one dog from getting hit by a car then Iโm ok with it.
