Just as they do on land in the Five Boroughs, the FDNY is there, safeguarding all of New York City’s waterways, ready to answer the call from their station in Brooklyn’s Navy Yard. Aiding them in their work is an impressive fleet of patrol and emergency response vehicles, tools, and even Mustang Survival Classic Flotation Bomber Jackets.  

Earlier this year, we were fortunate enough to spend a rainy winter day with them on Marine 6 patrolling the New York Harbor, and to get to know the ships, gear, and great people who keep NYC’s waterways free from harm for all of us. Thank you to the FDNY for having us and for all that you do to help ensure we can continue our urban explorations safely.

Doesn’t it often feel very often kinda frustrating to constantly leash an overly energetic dog? While we love our doggo’s excitement, it does often make you wonder seeing other proud pet owners calmingly walking their friendly and well-harnessed furry friends? Indeed, it does not take a Harvard scholar to come to the consensus that dogs can be unruly on a leash or by wearing the wrong dog harness or collar. Enter Wolfgang’s next level dog harnesses and collars.

Need to buy that canine friend a comfortable leash?

Need to buy the best dog harnesses that won’t choke them or exert pressure on their necks and chest and make them feel imprisoned? Fear not, the Vanish team is here with an instant fix to help your dog behave on a leash.

Our friends at Wolfgang and Beast offer a VAST variety of unique harnesses, leashes, and collars. All of which come in different sizes, colors, and styles that are unique and not at all cheap or cliche (nobody deserves to buy fakes anymore).

From harnesses for large, strong dogs like pit bulls, German shepherds, and Labradors to smaller breeds like Chihuahuas, toy poodles, and toy dogs, the list is endless.

The best one-stop dog harness shop

All dogs deserve a harness that is colorful, comfy to wear, easily adjustable, and durable. But those that also feature non-restrictive design and come in snazzy colors and patterns are everyone’s #1.

No-frills harnesses, like Wolfgang’s, enjoy massive traction amongst a majority of dog owners today. They come with adjustable straps for extra security and reflective strips for visibility. They are essentially excellent at keeping pressure off a dog’s throat and the windpipe free.

Dog Collars of all types

Calm that indisciplined dog with the right collar type and it will never get vicious towards other dogs out in town again. Collars are also great because they can also have the pet’s name and address on them.

Pick from the many flat collars, martingales, choke chains, pinch collars, or electric collar types on offer. They are tough with padded front and back panels, made-to-last, and come in all sizes for every dog type. One really awesome thing about them is the beautiful colors they come in. 

Every dog owner’s favorite leash

Collars and leashes go well together – they make dog-walking a beautiful outing. And it seems Wolfgang knows that the real beauty of leashes is with how colorful they are, much as they must be strong enough to withstand years of everyday usage.

If you’re looking for some of the most beautiful leashes today, these original Wolfgang-branded alternatives could come in handy. They are strong and smooth-textured, with heavy-duty clips, and come in different vibrant colors and lovely prints.  With MSRP rates currently as low as $14.95, this isn’t a RUFF deal to consider hopping on. Your best friend will thank you!

I’m the first company in 110 years Pendleton has allowed cut into their blankets. I don’t really have a strategy, but I like being outside and I’ve always made clothing that’s reflected what I like to do. I like nature and I like looking cool and being cozy in nature.

CULTURE
Where do you go for inspiration and what out there in current culture is creating the best or most interesting vibes to motivate you?

I love being outside. I love making art outside with groovy people that like the psychedelic aspects of nature. No one else’s vibe motivates me. Even if I’m inspired. I have to motivate myself. What we do is so specific but I think there’s a lot of people doing clever things on the internet right now. I love clever good design even if it’s out of my wheelhouse. I love things that can last forever and aren’t trend based.

FUTURE
What does the future look like for your work and what’s on your mind as you look forward?

The updated Roxor’s appeal goes beyond its styling. Mahindra’s wee four-wheel-drive utility vehicle benefits from improved off-road performance, thanks to shorter new 5.38:1 axle ratios that replace the prior model’s 3.73:1 gears. With the 62-hp turbodiesel 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine’s mighty 144 lb-ft of torque available from as low as 1,400 rpm working in tandem with the standard five-speed manual or available six-speed automatic transmission and two-speed transfer case (and 9 inches of ground clearance) the Roxor is a proper rock-crawler.
