BassAsin Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 a small trick if you are stuck is use a rope on the right and left side of your bumber but run it through a 3-4 foot chunk of abs or pvc pipe first so when u slow down or turn it doesnt pass/hit you! thats if you are stuck i used this method for several years before i built the portable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your trailering object must me firmly/directly attached to your sled/atv. this is true only if u are really stuck and the authorities are glad to hear you did all that you could because the winter hit so hard so fast you still have not got one built and this was the safest way you could get your gear to the lake on a short notice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 well it's not like me to disagree but from the way I read the law if you had rope inside pvc pipe with no slack it would be within the rules which states "Towing ,A rigid tow-bar must be used when towing" pvc pipe is rigid, you might need 2 to make a triangle to be truly rigid but it is rigid what yeah think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) I think we'll continue to pull the second guys hut.. behind the first guys hut.. behind the cutter... with rope ! Where we go the only thing the OPP check for.. is your fishing licence! lol. Never have asked for ownerships/insurance. Have asked to see fish pics on camera and all and all are some great guys.

ciceri Posted December 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 (edited) talked to my dad lastnight on the phone, and we figured something out. Instead of this portable with the plastic sleigh, we're going to get one that can pack up into a bag, like this: http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_...408474396672364 And then we can get something like this and put a box on it to fit all our stuff http://www.royaldistributing.com/ShoppingC...ow2009/295.html the sleigh kit The reason for this is because we go into the islands, honey harbour, and we want to try Mcrae and Go Home Lake's this year, so when we're just riding in the open to get to our spots, we can use the sleigh, then when we go in the islands, we can just carry everything on our backs. Because a sleigh would be just to much hassle going over bumpy islands. Edited December 23, 2008 by Ciceri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now go look up rigid in the dictionary and quit using the East Simcoe Dictionary.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
