[QUOTE="trhall, post: 1652733, member: 26233"] Here's the coolest device I've ever found outside of a horse. I have packed out 3 6 point bulls and a couple cows on this in the last few years. I carry the panniers in my pack and when we kill one we bone it out. On a big bull a front and hind quarter will fit in each pannier and be right around a 200lb load. I then pack out all the straps, tenderloins, and loose meat (neck, brisket, etc) in my hunting pack which is usually somewhere around 50 - 60 lbs of meat. Return the next morning with the packwheel and take the rest out in one trip! The handle bars and neck separate via a couple wing nuts and allow the 11 lb packwheel to be strapped to a pack for the trip into the meat making it much easier to get it there. It is so well balanced with all the weight right on the axle that you feel no weight on your hands. On anything other than a pretty good incline it takes Very little effort to push it. On a steep incline you can pull it up behind you if alone or have a buddy connect a pull strap to the axle and pull from above. It balances fantastically on knife edge rocks using the dual disk brakes allowing you to position your body correctly for each move. Since I don't have horses anymore this thing allows me to hunt much farther now on solo elk hunts than I ever would in the past. [/QUOTE]
