Bicycle trailer for carrying climbing gear 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
I finally got a chance to test out my new BOB Yak trailer for carrying gear to a tree climbing site. I posted photos here:
Bike trailer

I'm very happy with it, handled the load perfectly and it allowed me to explore more easily and enjoyably than in a car. And not to mention one less car on the road.

Bob Yak Trailer report 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
Moss cool pictures. You definitely carry ALL your stuff there in that carrier. That is more than I carry on my backpack on a week's long hiking trail. Thanks for the pictures.

Moss,

Great idea. Much easier than throwing it all in the car and driving. I know you had that handcart you used in the woods. Does the Yak replace that? Does it bushwhack better than the previous model?

The Yak trailer doesn't replace my walking trailer. It gives me another option, especially when I don't want to drive. Or I can carry the bike and Yak in the car and then use it to go where the car can't go. Once I'm in the woods the Yak will go wherever my bike goes. If I need to go off-trail into rough terrain then I park the bike and carry the gear from there.

Hey docteric, let me know when you're free to do some climbing!

Moss,

I suddenly had an image of you flying through an "untrailed" forest on your bike with the Yak bouncing along behind you. I wish I could draw.

Unfortunately I'm not doing a lot of climbing these days. Got up Sunday for the first time in over a month. I'm teaching a couple of classes at the local college and building a deck on my home. doesn't leave much time for other stuff - including sleep.

'though it'd be a last to get together I'm afraid I'll have to pass until the end of the semester at least. Maybe a frosty climb in January?

"'though it'd be a LAST"? I meant to type "a blast".
