@@calebkopp5230 Great topic! I'll need to think about the mechanics of that one, as there are basically two major forms: the sled falls in below you or the sled gets stuck, wedged above you. Then you add in the climber factors (injured, not injured, etc). It might have to be a series, and I still need to figure out how to wedge a sled, safely 🤔🤔🤔
@@ShortGuysBetaWorks it seems like something people don't really drill enough before they head to places like Denali. Definitely adds a layer of complexity to standard crevasse rescue, as you said depending on how and where the sled gets lodged.
Your sled is a thing of beauty. However, I have to say my cheap kids sled with a bit of added rigging has worked just fine in the Colorado backcountry and on Denali. Locking into the team rope was key for steep descents - but we still wanted to kill each other when someone's sled got out of position! :-)
Thanks for the video 👍 The aluminium runners were interresting. I never seen that here in Finalnd (or Sweden or Norway). But in Finland we dont have mountains of course but we do alot of expedition style hikes with sleds in the wilderness on forrests and fjells. Instead of bars I like to pull my sleds with only rope, it gives me so much flexibility in many situations. Anyway it was interresting to see your way of doing things 👍
@@ShortGuysBetaWorks I'm actually organising a 2 week long arctic skiing expedition to Svalbard and to its highest point Newtontoppen. We will travel on glacier which is not norma habitath for us Finns 😅 I've had a lot of great tips from your videos 🙏 Unfortunetally my videos are in Finnish so you propably wont enjoy from them, but if you want to see any landscapes from Finnish wilderness areas it would be easy to fast scroll true some of my videos 👍
Would love to see a video on managing crevasse rescue with a pulk, especially for teams of 2. Great video as always.

@calebkopp5230 On both your points, you are not wrong.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to create quality content.
@@TheGearTester Appreciate the support! 🙏
Thanks for this video. I am planing to build a sled maybe I’ll use your tutorial.
Short and precis as all your videos. ❤
@@docmagoos78 Helps so much when carrying kid gear in cold weather! Hope it turns into a fun project! 🙏💪

Lots of good designs out there. Glad you've been having fun with yours! So nice for winter hit trips 🏘️

@sakkeraappana Your region has such a strong culture around this; I appreciate you taking a look.

Great video. I personally don’t use rails( runners ) makes turning harder with load and if you have to turn around.
@@sheerwillsurvival2064 true that it forces wider turns.
A more elegant solution than the foam and tape would be cap nuts and/or carriage bolts
