Destiny Survival

            Why not haul survival gear and supplies in a utility or sport sled?  They’re often used by hunters to float decoys, transport hunting gear or pull a deer out of the woods.  They can be useful to have when fishing or trapping, but only your imagination limits how you can use one.

These sleds are rugged enough to be pulled over gravel or ice and snow.  Different companies have them in different sizes, and they may be called by different names.  They’re very light, weighing less than 10 pounds, and are made of high impact Polyethelene.  For example, one company has a deer drag sled that’s 65" long, 22" wide and 5"  deep, weighing in at 4 lbs.

            I found the Pelican Snow Trek 45 utility sled on Amazon.com, which has built-in attachment points for bungee cords or nets.  Its unique design makes it possible for you to put two Snow Trek 45’s together to enclose gear and add extra capacity.  Put two together to make a closed box.  Of course, you could use it for sledding if you like.  The overall dimensions are 8” H x 20" W x 45.5" D.

            I know of a couple of people who use these sleds for things like moving pipes, wood and nursery pots for a greenhouse project.  You could carry groceries from the car up a long driveway.

            Out camping in the wilderness, you could perhaps tow a utility sled behind a canoe or kayak.  It could be useful for transporting camping gear over snow while winter camping.  How about moving valuables and supplies out of a flooded area?
