Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Sled for Sale: (Alaska guys)

Freight would obviously be a prohibitive factor so this is for the Alaskans in the crowd:



I am putting this sled up for sale in Fairbanks and will be posting fliers�maybe Craig's list.

It's a nine foot, all hickory, 100% hand fitted mortise and tenon lightweight freight sled. It a great type of sled for the traveler who needs a strong, lightweight sled for running distances. It has carbide skegs inletted into the runners, a fully welded, heavy-duty tow bar with independent shock-springed draw bar (with large eye for pintle attachment). The sled is tied with tarred round-brain nylon; critical metal fasters are grade 8 bolts.









This is a high-quality sled that will provide years of service with reasonable care. It's fairly narrow at 32 inches and is 18 high. Lower horsepower machines will pull it readily with modest loads. This sled is priced to sell for $1250.

A second sled, a slightly heavier and heavier-duty design, is nearly complete and will also be up for sale at a higher price shortly. It is about the same size and very similar in design with an extra set of stantions, lacking the rear crosspiece- the better to to load extended loads, and stantions spaced more ideally for rearward weighted loads.

Campfire folks deserve an opportunity since I've "known you longer"
