Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
Good find on that sledge mate, might grab one me sen
How do they manage to deliver them for that price?
I've got a load of seatbelt webbing if anyone needs some for a harness?
Are you up for the trip Andy?
Thanks Rich
I think KP's idea with the bumbag is a winner, Ive got a padded one that with some beefing up will do the job. 2" webbing with a decent 2" buckle should hold up. I'm hoping it turns up in one piece, I cant understand the postage either
I'll be guinea pig, should be here soon.Great idea with the bumbag mate
Harness and bag in one!
Assuming I am free on the dates, and you can get yersel to Stonehaven, id be happy to pick you up from train station and drop you off again afterwards.
that looks like it must be the mods my brother followed, exact same sledge and ball joint config, brilliant! wonder if you can get those sledges over here?
Got my sledge off the bay today. I'd ideally like one with a higher front bit it should be good with a cover. It long enough for a big pack plus a few extras.
The front will need modding, needs beefing up.

Good find, cheers Rich
The long range met office forecast says weve got another month at least of nothing too cold. Plenty more time to bury coal, hack up plastic sleds and dream of Carol Kirkwood saying "...Minus 20 or lower in the Scottish Glens...."
I'm going for a simple rope pull I think for simplicity. Im going to rig it to a bumbag or a pack.
Got a reindeer skin on the way from a link on here to knock up some mitts and I'm severely ogling a pair of MSR lightning ascents from amazon.

Just mind that a rope only pulk will slide into the back of your legs every time you stop, you could cut branches and tie into the rope at the start of your trip though.
Or you could tie a sheep shank using the loops either end to hold the stick, you may have to carve a knock or too so the rope doesn't slide up

Hahaha, You know, as soon as I pressed SEND, I thought- someone will pull me up for not being bushcrafty enough!Or you could tie a sheep shank using the loops either end to hold the stick, you may have to carve a knock or too so the rope doesn't slide up
Has anyone contemplated building a toboggan rather than a pulk?
Seems like a good idea for shifting a good amount of gear and they can be rolled up for transportation.
