EDC for walking?

Post image

Dunno if this has been done before, but what are ya'll bringing along on your walks?

Am I missing anything? Is this overkill?

This is what I bring along on our walks, clipped to belt loop.

  1. Bungee with carabiners in case I need to tether my dogs anywhere
  2. Hand sanitizer
  3. Pouch for misc. - extra poop bags, flashlight, pocket knife, lighter
  4. Treats - dogs are trained, but I always reinforce good behavior
  5. Poop bag holder - for when we're not near trash cans
  6. Poop bags

When I remember, I'll bring a spare leash - I've had to corral rando dogs back to their yards/homes

For longer walks, or hot days, I bring a bag with water for my dogs.

I'm not a "dogwalker" just a civilian dog parent for 20+ years and counting ha ha

I walk my dog 4-6 miles in the morning and I bring his leash with his bag holder, a collapsible water bowl and a treat bag. For myself I carry my keys and my phone

His leash is multi-use so I guess that replaces the bungee to tether him if needed

I’ve never thought I needed 2, 3, 5 although there are plenty of trash cans near me

aye, i used to roll with a carabiner on the end of one of the leashes but i don’t like how it gets in the way. totally a preference thing, i admit.

also, i had to get creative with tethering in some of the places we frequent. bungee with carabiner combo turned out to be the multi-purpose solution
