Sled modifications - IceGuy97 - 12-09-2023
It's almost time to hit the ice again! I was trying to think of a few sled modifications for more storage. Seems like I'm always taking more gear out. What are some key sled modifications you'd recommend? I was thinking of maybe doing a hinged deck/lid so my tent could go on top and my other gear underneath. I also don't have a machine to pull my sled so it's all dragging for me.

A smitty sled. Put the sled up on skis. It makes 100lbs of gear feel like 20lbs. Best thing I've spent time on outside of actually ice fishing.

Smitty setup for sure but adding weight to one sled may cause more drag than pulling two sleds. Skis on second sled as well.
