My new packboard

cabin2-260.jpgI 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 thecabin2-261.jpg 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).

  1. I made one of these out of a chair back over 20 years ago, and it still works fine. A great way to carry all sorts of heavy loads. Mostly I use it for carrying game and fire logs out of the forest.
    Le Loup.
