Instructions for building a pulka
Somewhere, there is a nice shareware book on making several different
types of sleds. I can't find it now. Can someone provide the link?

Thanks, Nick Branch I think you mean this: http://www.skipulk.com/ A lot of interesting ideas, "road" tested by the author. Especially solid on the harness and poles portion, which many seem to overlook.

Especially solid on the harness and poles portion, which many seem to overlook. That is the key, the poles are so secure that the sled is at one with the skier. nick branch wrote: Bingo! I was up on a backcountry trip with Pulky Ed just over a week ago. I was skiing down through trees at speeds that boggled my conception of sleds. Much better than skiing with a full pack.
