Gear Review: Nathan Storm Pack
Picture yourself out for a long hard snowshoe run or hike, working up a sweat, then trying to take a drink out of your water bottle, but nothing comes out. Drat! It’s frozen solid again. This has continually been a source of frustration for the avid snowshoer.

hey derrick, hope you're starting to feel better this week.
ReplyDeleteto answer your sled questions:
yeah, i just run a perlon cord through each pole and then at the sled it goes through a hole on each front corner of the sled and then back around the entire sled under the lip on the edge of the sled and is tied together in back.
the silicone tubing is attached to the poles with hose clamps and the perlon cord also goes through the tubing. this all seems to hold together really well. if you want i can send you some more pictures. let me know.
Thanks Geoff.
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea about tying it from the back. I was concerned about the strain on the sled from pulling from the front, but couldn't figure out in my head how to pull from the back (which is like a dogsled system). Great tip. Thanks again.
