So ive yet to find some good skis. But after about 200 views had 2 replys. (thanks guys)Thought that I had some questions that some other brother "shanty men" might have too. Tough cokrowd
Here's my new homemade sled for my suitcase shanty. I got tired of it being a snow plow instead of it riding on top of the snow. Now it is like pulling 5lbs behind me when I have probably 85lbs of gear on it. It puts together in 30 seconds and takes apart in 15 seconds. It glides so easy over the snow! Now I,m not afraid of walking a long distance to a hot spot if I have to. It can be built for $15-$20 depending how cheap you get your skis for and what other stuff you have on hand. My skis only cost me $5 at our local thrift store. This also comes apart really easy so you can fit in your car like I have to, NO TOOLS REQUIRED! I thought I should share this for anyone on a budget or for one to get into your car Like I have to. Smitty(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
there is a 19 page thread here on the smitty sled. many variations
(Image removed from quote.)I finally got my Smitty Sled done. I went with 2x8 risers and 2x4 runners. I used a wooden dowel set up so that I can choose between a 24",28" or 32" sled. I will probably use it most. Looking at the I-bolts, thought it may be better if they were pointed up that way they won't be pulling thru the snow. Just my 2 cents.
Do you think it will pull better with it set at 24'' than the 32''? or is it just depend on what your haulin?
