The Mule
« on: August 13, 2016, 12:21:36 AM »
Newbie here, so I apologize if this has already popped up and been talked about, was perusing on the Internet and FB forums looking at possible packs and such, and low and behold, this thing pops up. I half wanna cry and half wanna laugh, but for the most part just watched in disbelief that someone might actually think they need to take that much stuff (yes I know some pack in and set up camps) but I doubt this pack is targeting them

Seems sound from a pragmatic sense.  Essentially an upgraded travois.  I'd be interested to see how it performs in the woods packing out moose etc...

Being married for 25 years with two kids I can tell you why that poor sap thinks he needs to take all that stuff.  :chuckle:

Looks like a good way to injure yourself to me. All that unsprung weight is going to be a lot harder to control even with a brake and burn a whole lot of calories trying to keep it balanced. Might work well for a game cart though. Fashion a couple of handles and tie them up with some 550?

Interesting, but because of the wheel, this would be illegal to use in any area designated as a wilderness area (Alpine Lakes, Henry M Jackson, Glacier Peak, Pasayten, etc.).
