Making a Pulk Sled | DIY | Winter Backcountry Camping | Bushcraft

In this video, I walk you through how to make a Pulk Sled in your own “Do It Yourself” project. With COVID-19, we are all stuck at home more than ever, so a DIY project to get ready for this winter’s travel is the perfect solution. A pulk is perfect for ski touring, winter camping, and winter bushcraft; it enables you to efficiently carry a selection of gear necessary for winter survival.

I have created a blog post with the materials and tools required for this project.
