Easy and cheap DIY pulk sled for winter hiking
Proper pulk sleds can be really expensive but fortunately you can DIY a simple and functional pulk sled! Here's how I did it for my first solo 4-day winter hike up in the Swedish mountains.

Inspiration for the setup came from this Rei blog post (but I heavily simplified it):

Gosh, I wish we had such expansive wilderness, here, in the UK. Love the ingenuity of making things!
Clever and resourceful, maybe make one with wheels and fat tyres for when there is no snow. Stay happy.
Great set up you have there.
I have seen many pulk sled builds. Yours so far gives the best description of how you built your own. Thanks, I enjoy your videos.
Thanks for the tips Maiu , be safe out there
Always great information. 😎
Very clever!
Clear and concise video. Thank you for sharing! Happy Trails!
Thank you for explaining the harness and best way to attach the pulka.
Hey thanks for the tour of your Pulk... Looks like a ton of fun < J
Been checking out your channel since you started it. I'm happy you've continued to adventure! I did the Pacific Crest Trail last year, and am currently doing the Continental Divide trail. That will finish my big 3 in America. Then I may head over your way to do some European hiking! Proud of you! Hikers Hike!
Hello Maiu! Its so nice to see you again and know that you are doing well. Its always interesting to learn about your latest adventures. God bless you.🙂
Thanks a lot for sharing; very instructive ! Take care, and have fun :)
For providing the fundamental information, Madame, 10/10...... I Thank you.
... Hello Maiu ,, with current conditions in your home area , I have had thoughts of your home and safety ,, hope life is well for you and family ... have made some changes here as well and have not been getting notifications for many videos ,, so glad this one came up , I have some catching up to do ... ... Nice pulk sled set-up ,, they really help with the extra gear needed for winter treks .. Agree , so many options to design a sled ,, I have 2 , one larger than the other when more extensive camp to set up ,, with heavier/larger hot tent and food chest for longer stay ... Pulk sleds and Toboggans make the gear haul possible ... will check in as time goes .... Stay Safe and give your dogs belly rubs often ...
You did such a great job on this video. I really enjoyed it.
Your beauty is just as wonderful as the landscape 👊
Thanks for the info. You method is so easy and I didn't think about removable poles for transportation, which you did 🤣
Hi from Norway. This was exactly what I was looking for. Winter gear is so expensive 😫 ergo this was perfect.
A motorcycle cargo net is an excellent fastener for the cargo in the sled. Also, you can put a small fin underneath to make it more stable in sliding sideways during downnhill skiing. Also, an old-timey military webbing hip-belt is an excellent way of connecting it to yourself. I have one with some pockets mounted so i don´t need the back-pack. I sweat a lot so I really don't want a back-pack. If you put a wooden handle for a sweep in the plastic pipes you can avoid the flimsiness of them.
well explained - thank you
You are superbly articulate and amusing. It was such a pleasure and instructive to watch your video. Will adopt your ideas. Off to Nordic mountains shortly. UK sailor/skier.

Hi Maiu. Thank yo so much for that it was really inspiring. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
Excellent review and useful hints. I'm planning to make pulk sleds for this winter and try them out in Polish mountains. Cheers!
Saving this in smart map, thanks
Thanks for the innovative ideas ... Cheers.
I'm making one for this winter! Awesome!!! I learned a lot!!!
Have built a couple of pulkas and the rope solution is a bit too loos for my fancy. Next time will do a rubber hose attachment that will be flexible yet stiffer and without the slack.
ALL MINE 😍😙😙😙😚
Amazing video !
🐕🦺⛷️🛷 Brilliant 👌👍
Still plenty of snow. Today we had a thunderstorm with light hail. ⛈🐻Braşov 🇹🇩
there the same thing as a premade one. just aswell make it way you like. few holes, rope, few clips and pvc
Fantastic adventure. Loved every bit of it. Well done!
And i was thinking and thinking from what you made the black tub. Did she use a big sqare bucket for mixing concrete? Is it a small bathtub for the garden? Some sort of trashcan? No. Just a huntig sled -g-
Where did you find the orange poles?

From a hardware store! They are originally meant for marking trails and roads in winter time
