Bushcrafting trolley

[makeitmyself]

Hello this is for all those crafty bush women, I have invested in a nice piece of kit that holds more stuff than a bergen



a lot of handy accessories can also be hung around on krabs ect.



it is a dream to drive, steer, pull or push in fact it is very obedient
i recon the men will be so jealous they will be sneaking out with it when your at work.

See all the kit it can carry for the woman about the bush



enough spuds to feed an army of bushcrafters or hmblt (firebreather) and his mates and that will certainly make you popular around the camp fire.

Are you taking a gennerator to Middlewood this time - to run the iron? If you are i have some flood lights we could string up to annoy everybody (Wayland?).

reminds me - I must check up on Bushcraft ettiquette soon.

You aint trying to tell us that this is a certain persons 25th aniverary issue, limitted edition bergan are you.
I guess that they will soon be apearing on evilbay at a very reasonable couple of hundred pounds each.......but beware of forgeries!

I did see an RM Zimmer frame the other day but on close inspection it turned out to be a ditributors label - "R(something like"Redmonds" cant remember exactly) Mobility"
I felt realy disapointed! It was well shiny, could have formed one end of a bivvi and was a quality build.
If age equates to experience then this was ideal for the VERY experienced Bushcrafter!

Good idea and there is even an outdoor cart being made by a company called Radical design (no relation etc.). This thing is purpoefullty designed with large wheels to make it easier to get off-track and can be coupled to backpacks. See the link: http://www.radicaldesign.nl/en/produ...rs/wheelie.php

Lin,

I've got some larger pneumatic tyrs that should fit that - better off road ability.

Hello My trolley has many advantages over a purposefully designed one, for instance i can disguise myself as a normal woman about town / bag lady depending what area im in which will cut down on those awkward moments where you feel you are being ostracised.by the community. And then when i am in the bush (bushctafting of course) i wont get inundated with questions in the car park about its capabilities off road e.c.t by over enthusiastic kit monsters. So either way i win ( i think?)

I confess you have seen right through my plan. I have converted my trolley ito a generator trolley. Who do i have to write to now to ok this as i need it in my bush life, if i got thrown out of camp by breaking ettiquette stuff it would be a disaster.

SHOW OFF i hate being up staged bet it cost a few bob im only gealous mine looks positively flimsy now.

[andy_e]

Not at all, I was just thinking of the next evolution of your own brand of Bushcrafting, convert your trolley into a trailer and ride the segway off into the wilds.

[big_swede]

A trolley was used by Jon Muir for his solowalk across australia, so I guess it's nothing new really. I would go for one in plaid instead of the floral camo pattern the threadstarter chose.

[mentalnurse]

dose ur other half have a matching one ?

[litefoot]

Talk it up some more here,design a poncey logo,get a bushcafty guru to endorse it and you could make fortune........it`s` starting to sound good already.

Not yet but after having a play I have come up with a few designs for my own and i will be working on/ bodging one together at some point.

Right who still has an old silver cross pram cuz they had the best wheels for bogeys when i was a nipper

To do list

get back in touch with ventile and order some material
find a supplier for titainium tubing
find suitable wheels and tyre combo (like an off road pram but with heavier weight capacity)
design make then re-design the bag and re-make it all.
Figure out a way of using the trolley to strap my hammock to with an extra pole to use for the other end
design a hidden sheath in the frame for a billhook ala sword cane.
pay a fortune for all the bits, use it once then go back to my trusty bergan

Actually a certain (small) section of the bushcraft community have been using a very similar item to this for a good few year to carry heavy & unweildy equipment across some pretty daunting terrain. They have used them in the most atrocious conditions from desert to arctic (or near enough)sometimes for days at a time. Hand drawn, although there are self propelled versions available, lightweight, relaitvely cheap and extremely rugged I'm amazed these havn't caught on on a big way.
There is one up for grabs on Evilbay now here

Cheers

Greg - already told you I've got the wheels sorted. Also got 5 spare Land wheels & tyres at the momnet.

[Big Geordie]

Is this a group buy? And can we have it with double layer ventile? Does it have a separate pocket for the ubiquitous mil-spec Trangia? Have you put your runes on it yet?
Great Thread,

Dam it , you told me they was Yellow Lin , I dont want one now ,

But on a serious note I could really use one of these with my leg being the way it is , I almost didnt make it to the car coming home from middlewood , had a raging infection and even had to go to the docs ( I dont do Doctors if i can help it ) its still not right now, I wonder if the mud had anything to do with it.
