This weekend in preparation for some winter backcountry camping, I needed to build a pulk. This is a sled that you tow behind yourself with all your gear over the snow. I have not made one before, and the only time I towed a sled, I used just my son’s regular sled. I had just a short 1 km walk, so I wasn’t too worried about things falling off and since this was for one of my school run trips at a local conservation area, I had 20 students who could pick up after me LOL. It worked just fine, but I wanted to make one for longer trips. Hence this weekends DIY project.
Canoeing in December?
Ever since we bought our canoe in August I have been wanting to get out as much as possible. A few weeks ago we got out for a paddle and when we got home, we put away the canoe…..dirty!! In the back of my mind I was hoping to get out one more time, at that point I would do the final wash before storing the canoe. Time passed and the opportunities to get out was slipping through my fingers.
The Points that Almost got Away
I have referenced the Paddle in the Park contest a couple of time in prior posts, but I feel that this story really does need to be shared. (Don’t worry, I have more to share later)…
How to Pack a Food Barrel
Food Barrel Prep
While preparing for our Temagami trip, a friend of mine inquired about packing a food barrel. She has never traveled with one, and I decided that I would do up a little blog and video to show her. The benefit of this, I get to pass it along this information to you as well.
