This popped up on my Facebook feed this morning. It says there will be a kickstarter campaign soon but doesn't show what the pricing will be.

I've been considering a deer cart for last resort on-foot bugout but this things got potential if it turns out to be affordable.

I should finish the cart I have been building. Anyway, I took a fairly typical two wheeled game cart, an ALICE pack frame, a set of MOLLE shoulder and waist strap installed on said frame, and paracord to tie the top rail of the cart to the bottom rail of the of the ALICE frame. I laid the ALICE frame face down in front of the top rail of the game cart which was also set on the ground. I clamped a piece of 4x4 on each end as spacers between the two frames. I tied four pieces of 550 cord on each side of the center bar of the ALICE frame which would run vertical as worn. My ex wife who was all of about 110 pounds could easily pull me across my flat yard, and I weigh about 190 pounds. I am also 5'11", and that fit me very well with a decent angle to the cart. I have to mount a couple handles to the game cart and get some good rope for a 3 to 1 system for going up/down steep terrain. Just a tip if you decide to build something like this. Load the heaviest items towards the bottom of the cart, and it will be super easy to drag.

Bug out wise -- I'm big on nothing reflective --

Flat or matte black paint / zero chrome anyplace / tint film on all lights ( head - tail - side markers ) - even lite smoke tint on all the glass ( on the outside & sealed edges ) --

Why -- once in the weeds on a trail just for shits & giggles - I turned off all my floods - full moon lit night -- I went around a turn and a voice came out of the woods -- "Hello" --

The guy was stopped 3' off the trail -- I didnt see him till I heard him --

Reflective is bad all the way around when you want to get lost. Reflective makes it easier to spot by producing glare in the from the sun or flashlights at night. I had a post awhile back about keeping the toe section of panty hose for over my bug out bag monocular, and some guys here laughed at it. I do not want sun glare giving away my position.

Pics or it didn't happen

Look what the tooth fairy gave me this morning. A bug out cart!

I had to rest it on my dog house to get a picture of it. The dog house sits about five inches higher than my waist meaning my cart will have the top angled down more when I wear it. I need four U- bolts to keep the para cord from sliding around the top of the cart and need to bolt two pieces of strong tubing to the top of the cart as control handles. I forgot to mention I ran the paracord through a slit on each of the ALICE to keep it from wandering all over that frame when moving. I also have to admit it does not look pretty, but it works.

They make a cool attachment for that.
I is adds a hitch so you can tow it .
Around $20

. That would be cool, but I do not have toys to pull it thanks to my ex-wife. Unless, I could use a bicycle.

Do me a personal favor just to prove a point -- take a pic with your cell volume buttons facing down & see if the pic isn't sideways ?

P/S -- is there a quick release in case you need to hot foot-it ?

The forums attachment feature turns some folks pictures sideways. Nobody knows why. Its just one of those things we will have to live with.... for now.
