what works: winter supplies and cargo sled

Our cargo sled, many years of use and abuse, many memories.  Like the time I was goofing off on it while Jackie drove, and I fell off in the snow.  Jackie didn’t look back much and stopped for me a mile later.  The times we slowly hauled 6 people on it to go sledding.  Anyway, this video provides good information about what to look for in a cargo sled and what to expect taking care of it.

Notes for the video:

  • I didn’t mention we have used this sled to haul 500 to 1000 pounds of gear  at a time.  The trip covers 4 miles and gains 1500 feet in elevation.
  • Every year during the melt off season, we get to pull this thing over dirt and some gravel patches that are 100 yards long.  Ouch!

Ever modified a sled or trailer to haul your gear?  Have suggestions on better designs?  Please comment and join the conversation!
