As The Crow Flies

I had my tape measure in my hand and was loading up my pickup to go out and cut some more wood, when I started thinking about how much more functional my Nissan extended cab pickup would be if I removed the passenger seat.

I thought there might even be enough space to stretch out and lay down there. I measured the space and sure enough, there looked to be enough room for a person who was 5’ 7�.

When I try to recline the seats back in my truck, the headrest touches the back of the cab, keeping it from fully reclining and making for an uncomfortable night.

I looked at the headrest and thought, “It would be good if you could remove the head rest.� Then I noticed a little button on the side of the headrest and pushed it and the headrest popped out.

Once the headrest was removed, the seat reclined fully.

I  got a pillow and reclined in my truck for a bit. I laid there for a while and imagined living in the cab of my Nissan.

After awhile I got up and went back to my woodcutting.

I got a Cabela’s Alaskan Outfitter Frame and Harness.

My use for it will be to haul a propane tank, hauling water from the spring up to my cabin, and if I don’t get all my wood in before the snow comes, I can carry my chainsaw out into the woods, cut some wood and haul the wood back to my cabin.

It says it will carry 175 lbs. I experimented carrying different stuff around. The heaviest load was probably about 75lbs and it carried it nicely.

It has a shelf with straps, but if your load isn’t stable enough, there is also a orange “pod” that pulls out of the bottom of the shelf and adds more straps.

The high bar at the top is removable.

It costs 99.99 plus shipping.  Cabela says it weighs a whopping 6.2 lbs (2.81 kilos).
