In this video, I walk you through how to make a Pulk Sled in your own “Do It Yourself” project. With COVID-19, we are all stuck at home more than ever, so a DIY project to get ready for this winter’s travel is the perfect solution. A pulk is perfect for ski touring, winter camping, and winter bushcraft; it enables you to efficiently carry a selection of gear necessary for winter survival.
I have created a blog post with the materials and tools required for this project.

Have you ever thought of adding skis to the bottom? (raised up of course)... like how ice fishing communities does it "Smitty Sled", basically same thing but reason why ice fishermens add skis is because they pull/ glide so~~ much easier, smoother ON snow. You should check it out.

Hi Tim - I enjoyed the video, nice project for these times, as you said. Very interested to see how the sled performs on the trail, particularly the tracking. Glad to see you don't wear a hat in the house! LOL. Be well.

No hat in the house - but it was sooo cold in the garage. I am anxious to see how it works in the snow too, and it looks to be a good winter for snowfall in the cascades. Fingers crossed. Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.

Interesting. Thx Tim. I think I’d be inclined to cut off those fin bolts so they don’t protrude up as much. Also, when do we see the 8hr video of you cleaning out your garage to look that orderly? Cause that’s how long it would take me! 😀

Yeah. I thought the same thing. Those long bolts will get cut-off. I try to keep the garage clean and orderly - but hey thats just me :) Thanks for watching.

Aw man, I wish I had something to pull along all my gear. Hope you're doing well.

Luckily there is plenty of snow in the mountains, so I am excited to get up there - maybe this coming weekend. Speaking of pulling gear, what is the status of the Mitsubishi? Hope you are doing well too!! Take care.

Nice build. As an owner of a 3 and an S I couldn't help but notice your charger.
@TimKirkPhotos
@TimKirkPhotos 3 года назад
Yeah. The 80 Amp Tesla charger. :) Had a S Long Range but I no longer have it. Thanks for watching.

Very helpful. I read the REI info to answer my question about the 1" holes and the use of the clevis pins for attachment to a hip belt. Now I'm trying to figure out the purpose of the 6" loops... Is the intent to just have something to grab onto when making the connection to the hip belt or moving the sled around when it's unattached?

Was that sled the Paricon Winter trekker? I'm looking at getting this, $70 at the local hardware store. How has it held up? Enough space for you? How has that x trace attachment point held up? Would you move it forward any more?

Great video, very helpful! Just curious, what is the purpose of the rubber tube?
@TimKirkPhotos
@TimKirkPhotos 3 года назад
i believe the rubber tube is to "manage" the connection of the PVC to the sled. If there was no rubber tube, it would be an abrasive connection at times.

What sled did you use?
@jonstrickland3934

How much weight can you carry in that sled?
@TimKirkPhotos
@TimKirkPhotos 2 года назад
Limited by your own ability and practicality on snow conditions. I would say 50-75 lbs would be typical. However, polar expeditions use pulks (different design) that weigh in excess of 250 lbs.
