There's not a quick release but it's pretty simple to detach the pulk from yourself in one of these ways: 1. By unbuckling the sternum strap and your waist belt buckle, you can remove the harness and be separated from the sled quickly. 2. Or you can pull out the lynch pins on each hip to disconnect the poles and pulk from the harness.
Great presentation, thanks! I'm new to pulks but was wondering what kind of weight you could typically and fairly comfortably pull for an extended winter trip of a couple of weeks? I know this depends on fitness, terrain and snow conditions, but am thinking of rolling but mostly flat terrain and mostly hard snow (or snowmobile tracks), and using nordic skis with skins. I ask because for an extended winter trip with food and fuel, two people can very easily get to around 110lbs (including pulk weight) each, and I'm wondering if this is typical? Unfortunately I'm getting to the age where a backpack is getting tougher, and even 45-50lbs in a pack is getting to be a struggle at times.
It seems to me that the sled length should be 6 inches longer than the person pulling it so they can sleep in it at night and the ability to turn it into a tent.
You should not allow the narrator of this content to get near camera or even microphone EVER. Is he stoned? Drunk? "One size fits all" is NEVER a good idea. NEVER! On the expedition, esp polar expedition, it has to be taylor made. I would love to see, how all the plastic components act in negative 60 deg C. I'm quite confident they'll be brittle as glass.
Where the hell are you going that's -80 degrees feirenheight? Sorry, but if your planning a solo expedition to somewhere equivalent to the artic poles you probably need custom equipment, my guy. What a moron...
