Gear Sleds and Pulks

 For those long backcountry treks, many skiers tow a sled or pulk for their gear. If you’d like to try making one, here are a few sources of instructions:
Mad River Rocket Pulk, GearJunkie, and The Inquiry Net! - Traditional Scouting Activities. Take a look at page 35 in “Allen & Mike’s Really Cool Backcountry Ski Book”.

If you prefer to buy one ready-made, you can’t do much better than Kifaru. Whichever way you choose to go, check out Kifaru’s tips on use and care.

Granite Gear makes a pulk sled that looks fairly decent. I've never tried it nor do I know anyone that has but I've read a few positive revies on it...
