My DIY ski pulk

Hello, Here is my latest DIY project.
A Ski sled/pulk.

it's made with more sturdiness then feather-weight in mind, :)

The sides and back and supporting frame is made of pine, and bottom and front cover is oil treated Masonite, the pull rods are electrical tubing with rope in them and the waist belt is an old weightlifter belt with added haul loops.

A old bike bag is fitted on the front, its expandable and can carry aprox. 25 liters but takes up very little room when folded up, it houses a knife, some spare rope and means to make fire in the folded up mode, like in the pictures here.

The "Skies" are metal reinforced pine wood studs.

its aprox. 180 x 55 cm

hope you enjoy it :)

What a great job. How did it feel to pull? All we need now is some snow in stockholm :)

Thanks! it glides reel good on snow, and ice. the smoothness of the Masonite makes it easy to pull. and the metal "skies" provides good stability.
Its quite heavy to turn if you not make the turn reel big in diameter.
Yes , some snow would be nice. :)

Well done, looks like you put a lot of thought in to your design.
I'm looking forward to your first overnite trip report.
thanks for sharing your project.

Wow...you took pulk designing very seriously. Looks great, and love the pic with your little one in there. Good job :thumbup:

Now that looks to be one solid pulk! Really nice work!

Very nice, looks well thought out!
