adult pulk for ski and skate?
I was thinking of getting an ice-fishing plastic sled. Those 6-foot
black barge things. Then screwing long skis to the bottom of it. Then attaching crossed conduit with heavy bungie thru it and a padded waist- belt. Could a good skier pull an adult in a such a pulk? One could glue foam pad into the bottom of the sled to make it nice. And install a Thermarest chair to give back support for the passenger. Now, to get extra power and control, one could build a chair-like hand- hold scaffold in the back, like a dog-sled or spark-sled. Then a 3rd person could ride the tails of the skis and control the back of the sled, kicking along for added propulsion and PUSHING up any steep hills. I was thinking that this kind of rig might work best on the ICE. I was out Nordic ice-skating a few weeks ago and thought I could just fly along with my skates and poles and pull a couple adults in a sled behind me. They could be nestled in blankets and enjoy the moonlight or something. The capper might be if another padded waist-band was attached to the first by another heavy-duty bungie so you could have TWO skaters or skiers! Mush mush! (Would this work? Anyone try such a thing?) --JP oyb |
