Pulk Building Continued

Finished the Cockpit cover, it took longer than I expected. It was difficult to get the snap placement right because of the stretchy material.

I flopped the pulk upside down and pulled it around the yard. The cockpit cover stayed on with no problems.

One things that might have to be done to improve the Pulk it to coat the bottom to aid in less friction when being pulled in the snow. The down side of kayak plastic it that it is heavy, very durable but heavy. I think that some kind of spray on coating will help,not sure what is on the market.

Just weighed the Pulk, Oh Shittles!
Pulk+Cover+Pole+Harness = 30 lbs

Looks like ultralight is not an option, but on the positive side, I'm figuring that I should be able to pull 100+ lbs of gear if needed and none of it will be on my back.
