Very specific headcannon but I think post outbreak settlements like Jackson— specifically northern ones in areas like Canada, Alaska, Russia, etc— would use dogsledding as methods of long distance trade. Within a couple years, everything old-world near you is gonna be more or less harvested for resources. Dogsledding would be effective for traversing cold, icy terrain to access hard-to-scavenge areas. You could go longer distances, depending on the sled you could haul more cargo, and dog teams can sometimes go more distance faster than horses.
(I’m not a horse expert. This is based off assumptions.)
Yes this is an excuse to combine two things I find really interesting, but wouldnt it be cool to see old ways of life come back like this?
