Here's the deal. There are 4 of us that pack back into some remote lakes. The trails are really decent but with waders, tubes and other gear........the hike going in, not to mention the hike back out with fish, is pretty physical.
What we want to do is build a lightweight cart similar to a "deer cart" with large 20-26 inch mountain bike tires, that we can strap our gear onto and transport our stuff back in that way. Use a portable battery powered pump to inflate the tubes and get on the water.
Anybody ever use or build something like that or are there easier ways that you've found to get to where you're going?
Just figured it would be a winter project but don't want to throw money at a bunch of prototypes trying to get it right.
I would much rather over analyze a little and get it right the first time.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or options that anyone may have!
