Carrying battery into back lakes

[mike rousseau]

Hey gang 

 

do you guys have any tips or trick to carry a trolling motor battery into back lakes?

 

looking at 1/4-1 mile hike ins 

 

I don’t think the little plastic handle is trustworthy enough and looking for 2 man carry 

 

found some creative ways to make a rope harness but haven’t tested it yet

Buy a lithium battery, less then half the weight

Depends how heavy the battery is, small 2 wheel dolly with larger diameter wheels or the old style military 64 pattern rucksack with the metal shelf to carry gerry cans.

Deer cart, you can toss all your other crap on it as well and strap it down.  Cruise kijiji, I bought a beauty for $50 2 years ago.  It’s hauled out 2 whitetail and all kinds of other junk in and out of the bush when we can’t use a wheeler!

A group size 24 fits pretty decent into a medium size backpack which works great. I've done this for a few years now on a 2 portage route. fishing rods in one hand and the trolling motor in the other to a cached boat.. backpack will hold the battery, tackle and a few other light items. Has been way better than carrying any other way.
