And a wheelbarrow.....don't forget the wheelbarrow.
Handcarts worked pretty well for the Mormons. One time RIP Ford returning half naked and in buckskin from a arduous trek across Texas came across an old guy, a 49er, pushing a hard art across the plains. Dunno if he survived.
I had a Mormon student did the handcart thing over the summer, skirts and bonnets and all. She said they pretended they were Amish
