I think that this is pretty cool personally. My bestest buddy and I are planning an adventure that requires us to hike or bike into an area that has some very cool historical interest to us. If we bike - it will take us less time to get there, however, we would not be able to carry much more then a day pack each. If we hike - more travel time but able to carry everything. I might try to build one of these carts and see how it does.

I figure I have all but the conduit in my garage and worst that could happen is that I waste a day in my life by trying something new. At best I will look like a yuppy suvivalist geek that borrowed his neighbors bike kid carrier and got lost in the mountains.

I will let you know how it works out for me. Provided that I dont get laughed off the mountain by ranchers with a meth problem.

Nice find.

This has me thinking of adapting some of these ideas to make it easier to transport various small items around the airport.

Always something to learn regardless of the source.

Why not just buy a kid trailer -- pre made, known workability and good weight/ space.

Here's a link to BOB Trailers

The Yak is very cool but also a very expensive option. I like the idea of building my own or modifying a garage sale bought kid trailer.

True. I mean you can pick up a half decent bike for the cost of a YAK.

I do like the idea of 1 wheel versus 2 though.
