That's a neat video. How far do you run in a day? Quiet and peaceful, only hear the dogs and the sled.

My typical run is 25 km.s. Yesterday I left the house and was back 3 hours later. That time included loading dogs/sleds, driving, and sledding with some farting around.
The trails are slick and the dogs are fit so the sledding part is pretty quick these days. We could have done an easy 40 km.s yesterday but I had other stuff I had to do.

I've watched your video a bunch. Looks like you're on a logging road or something? I looked at the other videos too, seems like after the roads are packed down hard, you'd need to put booties on the dogs, or are they just in that good of shape?
I've showed my little girl, she thinks it's neat as heck too. Go musher. & Roy, too.

I don't use booties unless a foot is injured. I don't do enough milage to bother with them.
The trails on the video are logging roads. On a woods trail you can't hold a camera and the dogs!
Roy is the lead dog that was slacking a little.

With the dogs. We were coming down a long hill with excellent spped. the lynx came out of the bush and didn't see us until i braked the dogs. If I wouldn't have braked we would have been on it within seconds.
The braking, and me telling the dogs to stop, startled the lynx and it crossed the trail. The leaders saw the lynx and too k off. But they ran right by where it had crossed!
On the way back there were TWO tracks crossing. So we went between a pair. I never saw the second lynx as I looked the wrong way. My son, who was behind me, only saw the butt of the first lynx as it re-entered the bush.
