Wow Bart, I'm impressed with your PVC Pipe work! You ARE the "PVC PipeMaster"
I built this sled for those days when I don't want to haul my portable shanty out, but just needed a windbreak and a heaterThe goal was to make it as light as possible so I built it out of 1/4" Luan, with spruce 1/2 " 1" framing. Even though it rides on 2 downhills ski's, it's also sloped like a toboggan so it will ride up on top of deeper snow. These pics show it with just a rope attached, but I also have a detachable metal hitch I use with the snowmobile. I wanted to be able to stow everything inside and tie down my auger so I can zip across the ice without worrying about losing anything. The sunflower heater sits down inside the main compartment with the tank resting horizontally in a cradle, and is perfect for keeping the seat and hands warm, and also for cooking on. Before anyone asks... Yes it IS safe with the heater, and the sides don't get hot enough at all. (I'm never very far from it anyway)The poles holding the windbreak are PVC pipe, carefully glued in sections so it's easy to assemble and all comes apart to fit inside. I sewed up the fabric for the windbreak using a water resistant ripstop nylon fabric, but now wish I would have gone with something a little heavier.(Image removed from quote.)

I guess you better hope they are not watching this forum then. That looks good hope nobody does steal it out from under ya.
what the heck do you need all that gear for?
Sorry guess this wasn't what you were looking for....... (Image removed from quote.)
In case I get lost and need to spend the night! I always bring way to much out with me. Just can't seem to get rid of anything in my sled. But I always seem to add something elst every year.
