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.

I would suggest that your first mod should be a set of raised skies or a 'Smitty' sled to carry it and all the extra weight.
