Differences in usage between 付ける and 付けて行く


What are the differences between the two usages? From what I've surmised, the
meaning is more or less the same. Typically, I tend to associate this usage of
行く to "moving away" from the speaker (e.g. 歩いていく), but that doesn't sound
right here.

For context, here's the original sentence

> ハイキングに出る時も、もし、不安{ふあん}だったら、リュックに鈴{すず}を付{つ}けて行くといいよ」と言った。




Rather than the ～て行く or ～てくる grammar points, this is just the conjunctive て. I
think it would be easier to understand if the sentence was written like this
instead:

> リュックに鈴を付けて、行くといいよ。  
>  It would be better if you stuck a bell on your bag and went.

行く here is being used in a literal sense. "stick it on your bag" and "go
(hiking)" are separate verbs here.
