Gonna make a sled.

After draggin my ice shack around with all this snow on the lakes, I decided I'm gonna make a sled. I'm getting a couple pieces of conduit for runners, bend them up on the ends, and build a frame and box so I can load my stuff on top, making it so everything but the runners is about a foot off the ground. Hopefully it will pull easier. Any bets if it will work or not? I'd be working on it now, but it's too dam cold.

I Think it will work good buddy i had one similar to that but i run the dang thing over in my yard one winter, after that i made one using a pair of water ski's for the runners works good also cause it can't sink in the snow so easy.

Mike, I thought about the skis also, I figured I'd try this, if it don't work I'll just fasten some skis to the conduit.

What diameter conduit are you going to use Graybeard?


Jim

Gonna go with 1/2 inch. I hope it's heavy enough.

we use snow skis on our--works great-get em cheap at a g-sale! Used to use metal bed frame rails-worked ok too. Good Luck

If I need a sled I figure its just to danged cold to fish.LOL I bet you get it done though buddy.

That's the way I feel too John..Snow and me don't mix...LOL..

Now if I"m gonna be all bundled up on the sled and somebody else is pulling, it sounds great, otherwise it's way to cold for me out there.lol
