Itinerary:

So you are going winter camping and you want to make your own homemade winter camping sled to haul your gear around?

Join me in a casual setting with actual demo sleds. We will review the basic requirements of a good sled design. We can discuss the pros and cons of various choices.

Bring your ideas or your own sled. I will show some examples of homemade sleds I made and used in the past.

We will review the materials, construction techniques, cost, stores where you get your supplies, and time required to build your own homemade winter camping sled.

Sleds are ideal for winter camping trips that travel by lakes. During last season we used them in Frontenac and Algonquin park.

This year, my goal is to get Misty Morning to pull it with me in it!

There will be a PowerPoint presentation available on request.
