I just discovered the smity sled, decided to build it. It is heavy, at least mine is a bit. However, because it is on ski's it is effortless to pull. I built one because I can't fit a decent sled in my van and have room for the boys. Smity is perfect, I added an all thread close to the bottom to help prevent the bottom from spreading apart. I use some wing nuts to put it on. No tools needed, packs down to nothing, very sturdy. I'm gonna redo my rope so it doesn't go across the skis, I was pleasantly suprised at how well it worked. I put an 8" gas auger, 4 man tent, 3 chairs, big buddy heater, 6 bottles of propane, shovel, tackle box, 6 ice rods. My sled is 2'6" wide, by 4', I used 2X10's for my blocks on the ski's. All I can say is I like it works.
