This review with pics gives you ideas with different designs:

Some comments below in bold, FWIW.

[quote Bozwell]Here's the deal. There are 4 of us that pack back into some remote lakes. The trails are really decent
Are the trails wide enough for 2 wheels? Otherwise a one wheel stretcher type game cart operated by 2 men would be lighter and go around turns, rocks, uneven ground and brush easier. If you have a distance to go, you might have to rig some way to turn the handles so they form a tripod with the wheel. That way you can rest without having to dump the load on its side...
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!
