Building An Expedition Pulk Sled - Shappell Jet Sled Jr 

Nice pulk build. I also built min using the Jet Sled Jr. The only other major difference is that I added a couple of pieces of channel aluminum (1"x1") on the bottom of the sled. Attached to the sled using a button head bolt with the button head on the outside to try and minimize any drag......with a nylon lock nut inside it with the bold flush to the height of the nut so to minimize anything catching too badly on it. These "rudders" keep the sled tracking more solidly on side slopes and helps it track pretty straight behind me. Love seeing others build nice functional equipment. Great job.

I like how you attached the polls to the front. I'll be using the same method to attach it behind my 4-wheeler for trapping.

Nice Job! I was about to shout at the screen "why didn't he put the holes on top" when you answered the question. Can't argue with your logic and those lashing loops turned out great. I made a homemade pulk from an old Flexible Flyer sled. It did not work that well. Got me a Jet Sled now, and I am going to copy your design, pretty much. Thanks so much for sharing. I agree that the harness poles and belt are the trickiest components of the system to get right. Rope stretch sucks. My setup was very similar to yours. I found that my belt tended to pull down on my hips. This year I am looking to add some shoulder straps to prevent that. Cheers!

Great job with the build, and good idea putting the holes on the side vs the top. Will be building my pulk sled in the coming days. Thanks for the ideas on my future build.

I really appreciate your video.

Great build buddy!!

Very nice job you gave me some great ideas Thanks

ooops I watched Part2 first. I wrongly thought the videos from a while ago were part1. I admire how you make it work for you. That molle pull/harness is very cool

These loops are much better design than others

Very nice job, looking forward to how it pulls in the woods.

How did it pull in the woods, specifically the pole arrangement? Looks like a nice set up.

Excellent job for sure. Most people mount the rope loops on top of the pulk, big mistake.

Only because I don't know. I live in central TX and have no experience with sleds. Why use poles over the rope for pulling?

I been taking gear into the wilderness with a sled for a few years now and i need an upgrade the old one was to narrow and was creaked in many places. I wanted to ask you how does this one pull over brush and rocks?

Хорошая работа! 👍👍👍🤝🇷🇺

So I'm about to bull the trigger on buying this sled. But I'm wondering now that you have used it for awhile do you regret getting the Jr.? Do you wish you had the larger one? I'll be going solo and dont have a ton of gear but wondered your thoughts. Also will the bigger wider one track as good? I snowshoe usually in deep snow not on trails. Would love your thoughts. Thanks!!
