How To Build A Pulk Sled/Otter Sport Sled Modifications

I finally turned my Otter sled into a pulk sled! After using this sled on a few trips it was time to upgrade the sled to make it easier to use. In this video, I show you some of the modifications I made to make my sled into a pulk sled.

Can’t wait to get this thing out on the trail! More camping videos coming soon!

[@gregsumrall591]

They sleep in nests or dens that they create or find in trees. Ground squirrels stay on the ground. They are burrowing animals that dig holes in the ground to stay warm. Depending on the species of ground squirrel, they may even hibernate in their homes throughout the winter.

[@petersalls4083]

Good job Kenny. That'll be a big improvement. Looking forward to seeing it in action

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks Peter! Can’t wait to get it out on an adventure!

[@catpurrson3651]

That was fun. I love seeing other's DIY ideas from concept to fruition.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks! If I can make it, I like to do that rather than buying it!

[@gi169]

Comment for the Al Gore Rhythm Mr. Baum. Love ya brother, God Bless you and your beautiful family.

[@KUEHLKUEST]

We had the same thing happen with our GoPro as your backpack... looked behind us and it and fallen off...found it though!....nice idea using the Velcro to keep the poles crossed.... we just use bungees on our gear vans that seems to work just fine....also like the quick release of the harness! Cheers to new friends Colleen and Jonny from Michigan!

[@BaumOutdoors]

So glad you found your GoPro! Nothing worse than retracting your steps to find lost gear haha! Thank you Colleen and Jonny!

[@jsmith7013]

Just came across this. Very nicely done, great detail and thank you for showing each step in-depth.

[@HilmiA28]

such a humble man love it .

[@Julian_Kurt]

Here in germany I'm happy to even see snow once a year if I'm lucky. Would love to do what you are doing in your adventures

[@BaumOutdoors]

I’m very blessed to be able to play in the snow! Hopefully you can get out and travel to a place that has some snow more often.

[@DasHemdchen]

Very well done, clever how the orange cord extends under and around the sledge‘s edges. Also the belt clips.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Ya I think it will work well! Very excited to get out and put it to the test 👍

[@FranksDIY]

Put some skies that that great idea and you have an even better sled. Thank you for the tips and idea

[@BaumOutdoors]

Great idea! I’ll look into that! Thanks 👍

[@tacrewgirl]

Great video. Your enthusiasm is contagious. The sled setup looks nice.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thank you so much! I really enjoy making these videos, I have a lot of fun!

[@keithsvoboda618]

Looks good ,good luck thanks for sharing 👍

[@ericstoever9577]

You got the bigger Winnerwell! You’re gonna need a big hot tent for that one! Good pulking!

[@BaumOutdoors]

Yes I am!! Haha working on getting a bigger tent 😊 can’t wait to use the stove!!

[@SignalOutdoors]

Nice job man! Looks great. I'll have to do an overview of my sled on my next trip, it's very similar to yours. Also you got the X3! You're gonna have a lot of fun with that. Looking forward to your next adventure. Take care Kenny. 🤙

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thank you! I think it turned out great! Just hope it performs well haha never know what will happen when ya get out in the field. Just got the X3 stove now waiting on the tent! 😊

[@gregsumrall591]

Dude some of your other videos are getting better traction. One thing I hear if people start to watch your video then turn it off not seeing until the end the algorithms start to hurt you in the ratings I hope you keep your videos going you have a great presence and I enjoy your work I know it takes a lot of time good luck and God Bless Ill keep checking in with you

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks Greg!! Just got home from filming my next video! Should be ready by early next week! I had jury duty so I missed a week of filming 😞 but I plan on having a video a week!

[@gregsumrall591]

iM RUNNING THEM IN THE BACKGROUND HOPE IT HELPS SEEN THEM ALL AND ALL GOOD YOUR ON YOUR WAY BRO I HOPE>>>> GOD BLESS

[@alfonsoacastro]

Kenny Baum sled🛷! I live in LA where it never snows and I still found your vid fascinating as always! Loved how you did this project outdoors instead of in the garage. All that stuff you bought reminds me of isle 12 at my lowes 😁

[@BaumOutdoors]

Haha! Definitely isle 12 but at Home Depot lol I think this sled will work great! 👍

[@KathysOutdoorAdventures]

Looks like the sled is going to work nicely for you. That would have sucked to have to make it to camp and find out you had to go all the way back for your backpack. I stumbled onto your channel and so glad I did. I can't wait to watch more of your trips

[@BaumOutdoors]

I think so too! It was something I had been meaning to do! Can’t wait to get out and give it a try 😊 thank you for watching Kathy! More to come!

[@truenorthangler]

New friend and subscriber here from Ontario Canada. Came over from Backcountry Paddler’s channel. Great project, turned out great.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the channel 👍

[@Honkerdown]

Just saw your Po' Man grill in the background. Cookin' in a Can!

[@annstark3742]

You are inspiring ! Keep it up! Can’t wait to try this myself. I think we are near each other - based on the landscape - in the same half of the state anyway! See ya out there!

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks!! Definitely give it a try! Very simple to make.

[@callmekrautboy]

See you on your next adventure with your sweet sled 👍

[@BaumOutdoors]

Can’t wait to try it out 😊

[@AdamRomanoExplores]

Dude! Didn't know you had two channels. Good to know. More content is always good. I'll check out your outdoors stuff as well now.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Ya I decided I needed to split the channel up since I was doing a lot of outdoor stuff on a bbq channel lol I’m really enjoying it a lot! 👍👍

[@AdamRomanoExplores]

@@BaumOutdoors I think they go hand in hand but I see your point. Good luck building this one up!!

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@BackcountryPaddler]

That thing is slick man, great build!! Now you just need some snow shoes! Bungee cords will be a good simple way to hold your gear down.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks! I think it’s going to work very well! No more losing gear while pulling the sled 😂

[@kathewelch]

This is great. We are going to use the idea. Thank you for walking us through. Now lets talk about your BBQ kitchen? Will you do a video on that?

[@BaumOutdoors]

So glad you found it useful! I think it is going to be of great use 😊 I love my bbq kitchen lol I have another KZbin channel where I do a lot of cooking on it kzbin.info

[@daveh777]

My Otter is cracking and falling apart after like only 2 Winters. I have the next size up and use it for dragging firewood around my property by hand. It takes it pretty hard some days but I expected a lot more durability from it. I'll buy a new one but will reinforce every corner and point that broke one my current one before using it.

[@trailtrashoutdoors8173]

New friends here from the channel Trail Trash Outdoors🤠🤙🗑 Sent over by Backcountry Paddler channel! Looks like we have alot in common so I am looking forward to watching some more of your videos in the future 🤠🤘 Sweet DIY sled! I am the type to research whatever I am creating..I normally pick my favorite parts from other projects..then I contemplate the results or small scale test if need be..then do my best in constructing it 😃 🔨 🔧

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks and welcome to the channel! I’m definitely a DIY type and do the same as you lol more videos to come! 😀

[@deeplyyoung]

Like the idea 💡 eager to watch it in real action

[@BaumOutdoors]

Can’t wait to put it to work!

[@gailembleton662]

Great work.. life will be so much easier for you.. i love it.. YEAHHHHHHH..👏

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks! It’s going to help a ton! Can’t wait! 😊

[@xxgg]

Have you ever thought of adding skis to the bottom? (raised up of course)... like how ice fishing communities does it "Smitty Sled", basically same thing but reason why ice fishermens add skis is because they pull/ glide so~~ much easier, smoother ON snow. You should check it out.

[@zulufoxx3829]

I've been toying with this general idea but have NO mechanical aptitude. You made this very straightforward & simple. The video was made very well-it was organized & concise. OUTSTANDING!!!

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thank you! I hope it helps in some way. It’s going to be a great piece of equipment 👍

[@rafterbarr1506]

PVC becomes brittle in cold weather, best to use fiberglass poles. Been using fiberglass for over ten years, haven't broke one yet.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Good point!

[@rafterbarr1506]

My harness is a yoke type worn over the neck and shoulders, easy to put on, easy to remove and can take on heavy loads with ease.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Interesting! I need to look into a different type of harness myself 👍

[@joshshusta2862]

Looks like it would work great 👍

[@hikingsteven7665]

awesome that's good need something like that thanks a lot

[@BaumOutdoors]

It works very well!! Handy for many things

[@keithsr.]

Very cool! Now add skis and it will feel a 1/3 the weight .

[@randomfpv22]

Looks good Kenny. I think the sled needs some fpv stowage 😉

[@BaumOutdoors]

Fpv stowage for sure lol

[@jonfyfazan]

👏👍👌hey should have had some elastic in the drawstring so it will be more comfortable to go with😃🇳🇴

[@BaumOutdoors]

Great idea!

[@Utah_Mike]

Otter sales a very nice cover

[@BaumOutdoors]

I will look into that. Definitely would be a great addition to the sled!

[@gregsumrall591]

WE ONLY LIVE ONCE ! ! !

[@gregsumrall591]

THUMB UP EVERYTHING EVEN MY OWN HOPE THATS COOL LOVE YA BRO BAUM OUTDOORS!!!!

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thank you 😊😊👍

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

Kenny... I absolutely love this video. super easy and cheap. I got my jet sled today and I already went to the hardware store. It looks like it's been working well. Is there anything you'd change about the design now that you've had some time with it?

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks! Yes it has been working really well! The only thing I would change is having a better attachment than the carabiners. They tend to come off easily especially when turning. I’ve thought about putting tape around it but would have to redo it every time. Any ideas?

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

@@BaumOutdoors which ends come out? I was looking at the locking carabiners while I was there. If you are having that issue, those may be a good fix.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Sorry I should have specified. It’s the attachment at the sled that comes off. The carabiners that connect to belt are just fine. A locking carabiner would do the trick! I’ll definitely be getting some as well 👍

[@AndyParrishOutdoors]

@@BaumOutdoors let me know how it works out! Also I'm not sure if you saw, but I sent you a PM with a question. You may not have seen it. If you have a chance take a look. Thanks and God Bless.

[@joesanders6898]

Good one! I'll bet that's going to make life a lot easier. Now maybe you could make another with wheels.

[@MangoMike316]

Thank you! I’m excited to give it a try soon! 👍 🇺🇸⛺️

Love it !!!! AWESOME

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thank you!

[@Johnnyexploresscotland]

Cool idea

[@BaumOutdoors]

Thanks! I think it’s going to work well 👍👍

[@robdahlin2733]

Great video! Will that H harness you used fit a guy who is 6’5” ? does it extend enough? thanks

[@BaumOutdoors]

I’m not sure that it would. But they may make larger ones.

[@jaswayne3373]

Is that the medium or large sled?

[@BaumOutdoors]

It’s a medium sled I believe.

[@pilgrimcarolee7294]

Why did you have to cross your poll's??? I don't think those things You just pushed on your belt, will work.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Crossing the poles give you better handling of the sled 😊 it tracks better that way!

[@alejajesus72]

No lo había visto. Jaj.

[@alejajesus72]

Saludos, amigo.

[@BaumOutdoors]

Gracias por mirar a mi amigo!

[@sylvainlaurence1554]

Why those plastic tube for me it’s just embarrassing,just rope will do the job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@BaumOutdoors]

The tubes help hold the sled at a distance. So if you are going down a hill the sled will not slide into you 🤷‍♂️
