Do you have a picture or a place you could direct me to so I can consider this idea?

Papinator	01/14/2013 02:14AM quote onepaddleshort: "Nice work. I picked up two of the exact same sleds and set them up for winter camping too. Mine are not set up quite as heavy duty as yours but I think they'll hold up OK. We got them out for a winter trip to the Porkies (staying in a cabin a mile in) and they worked alright. The only problem we had is there was so little snow that it was all packed down hard on the trail. And the sleds, having no grooves on the bottom would slide sideways down any inclines we had to traverse. This would not be a problem in deeper snow, but I may look at adding some kind of small fins to the back to help fight the sideways slipping." Thanks for that, good to know!

luft	01/12/2013 10:52PM +1 on the rigid pulling system! "Butt Wipe" may want to add some small diameter pvc pipes to his pulling ropes to keep the back of that sled from impaling his leg on a downward slope! Loved the video!
GreatBigCubsFan	01/12/2013 02:23PM Big Haus all the way! I loved the colorful flashing lights from your Stereo, which added to the presentation... I thought Matt's aero design was risky, in that he could impale himself. but as long as he gets the ridged pulling system he should be ok...
