[Twodogs]

Well put together with a load of bolts

 

[MartinK9]

Nice one Mate.

Room for a kettle now that mount's been removed.

 

[jimbo75]

Mate, that would double nicely as a Canoe!! You wouldn't have to worry about river crossings in cold Norwegian conditions..

 

[Twodogs]

Multi use yerrrrr

 

[woodstock]

look forward to seeing the finished project how much was it cliff

 

[Twodogs]

Work moves on

A not to tidy but practical repair to the small crack damage , tie wraps and super glue ..






Now looking at the to cover replacement ,




Think I will sort out this para cord puzzle first

Ohhh, that big knot of cord makes me want to sit by a fire and have a lovely unpiggling session Its a female compulsion, pass it to Sylv and she'll have it back to you in an hour or so with a victorious look on her face

 

[Twodogs]

You know its true ,,, all braided

 

[Dreadhead]

that looks pretty hefty Cliff, wonder how it will be getting it through airports and whatnot

It's when you're three days into unravelling all that paracord that Twodogs mentions it's only got one end.

Impressive piece of kit Twodogs. I hadn't realised they were called Pulks. Looking forward to seeing it completed then. All the best on this project.

Just having a rest from pining the zip on ,,,,

No problem with the size or weight you just pay for extra baggage ( It goes as ski equipment ) there is so much gear to go on a winter base camp trip it all part of the cost.

Looking good Cliff! Cant wait to see the finished article.. You should get along alot more comfortably with this one.

Are you using poles for tow lines or rope?

 

[Twodogs]

Rope and sling mate

 

[Andy BB]

On the weight front, Norwegian Air gives you 20kg hold allowance, and you pay extra for another 20kg bag, or 15kg ski equipment.

Re carrying the pulk when on non-snowy ground, get a kayak wheels kit - something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Canoe-Kay...oods_Canoeing_Kayaking_ET&hash=item232a1d6649

I got a similar one for my pulk, and it works great.

 

[Greg]

I take it you have the metal and rope traces for it fella...good memories of being strapped into the metal trace..skiing down hill..loosing control and getting run over by the pulk..

 

[Twodogs]

No I don't have them .
Its rope and sling for me, it will work for me on snow shoes.
I remember the last pulk starting to catch me on the down hill ,,, how I laughed ..

Twodogs

Not as much as me.

 

[bambodoggy]

Or fix a sail to the mount!

Lol.....that was sooooo my first thought too! Must be the inner child still in me fighting to get out lol lol lol

 

[Karl82]

looking good mate. Andy Ski equipment on Norwegian air is 20KG not 15KG but as Cliff said its all art of the cost and £7 for extra 20KG is not much.

 

[MartinK9]

Well?

Where's the next update?

Come on Man.
