Road Ecology Blog: Marcel Huijser pulls cargo sled on cross country skis, Wyoming, USA.

Carrying camera gear on your back is no fun when skiing or snow shoeing. The extra weight makes you sink through the different snow layers resulting in tough going. So, I put together this cargo sled with home made pull poles to make things a bit easier. The pull poles consist of rope fed through PVC pipe and with a loop on each end. One end attaches to the sled, the other to carabiners that connect to a waist belt that was originally designed for a backpack. The PVC tubes are stiff enough to keep the sled from crashing into you when going down a slope. Crossing the poles increases stability when going up or down a hill.
