i finally stopped procrastinating and built a gear sled...whoa, i should've done it sooner...hauling a ton of firewood to camp was a breeze.

we tested the limits of the sled and it was begging for more weight.

i'm glad i went for the jet sled jr. rather than the paris expedition...the high sides prevented water from coming in while crossing streams where i'm sure the paris' nose would've dipped below the water line. i just powered through terrain like this without much trouble at all. i think the only upgrade it needs is a fin in the back side since climbing up steep hills it tended to slide sideways...definitely worth every penny.

i know this is an old thread...

did you use your pulk this last winter again?
do you use it with snowshoes or skis?

i saw some people using a big waterproof bag on their pulkas, maybe that would be good for you too...
