Women carrying/pulling weight is quite, ahem... sexy, don't you think?
Harness is army equipment from Germany and USA. Plywood and iron from Finland. Wheel from China. Tyres from Europe. Assembly and idea from Finland. I carried the backpack 25 years. Then I started thinking why i carry this heavy backpack. Can i do it easier. And end of story is Erakarry=hiking trailer
Good work!
I met a runner with something similar at the amazing Forestry Commission campsite near Kinloch Rannoch (£7 a night for a tent incl occupants, wooden loos/showers, cold water only, midge machines, contained real fires allowed) he had built his so it very quickly converted into his tent frame too. Interestingly, he pushed his "cart" in front of him...

so it's basically a standard military webbing belt with hip polster and suspenders attached?!
I could knock up something like that quite easily, oo er missus pardon the double entendre, I am talking about the trailer.

I reckon for myself i'd be better off converting one of these to be useful by removing the seat and having a proper rubber rolltop drybag in it's place so anytime i need it i can lean on it and take my weight off my back too, it's even got a foot activated braking system

That's not such a silly idea at all. Got me thinking now...
I know i joke around a lot but i was serious there, like mrcharly said i also have major back issues which has me regularly toying with the idea of how to carry as little weight as possible, on tougher terrain you could easily drag it rather than push it just like you do to get them up a flight of stairs with a kid inside (except with your kit bag you wouldn't have to be as careful). I bet without the chair the wheels and are frame are really lightweight
Just thought if you fitted a rucksack like the bigger bergans in there with the shoulder straps facing outwards and velcro strapped the whole thing to the frame you could put the whole thing on your back when it got too hard to drag, well as long as you hadn't stuck 50 kilo of kit in it
We spent Finnlands first hiking trailer meeting in Evo Hiking Area. Evo Hiking area is about 100 km to north from Helsinki

Hi
Here is the newest version of my hiking trailer.
That looks good, do you have an attractive young lady to demo it ?
Rob
That does look pretty nifty to be fair.........might make a dog sized one, that should slow him down
Do you use it as a chair?

I can use as a chair if there is tree near firepalace
Of course I have young beautiful lady pulling my hiking trailer. But she is so shy
What a shame !, nice looking "trailer" though .
Rob
Now you can buy Erakarry

I'm seriously thinking of getting one of these to make my hiking adventures a lot less heavy on my back, i reckon it will be perfect for the job, all your kit could be inside protected from the elements and you even have a hand activated brake, no modifications needed at all
