How to suck less and be more better at…. is a monthly
series
designed to help facilitate ongoing peer learning. Speakers are
volunteers who feel somewhat knowledgeable and are willing
to
help others achieve basic knowledge in an area- they are by
no
means experts, and may in fact not be the most
knowledgeable
person in attendance. The goal is to help improve the
knowledge
and skill level of all members who participate on mountain trips
through regular skill updates. DIscussion and participant input
is
welcomed during sessions.
This course will enLIGHTEN your strategy for moving cheese,
vegetables, greens, bacon, booze and other valuable (or non
valuable) items long distances in mountainous terrain in the
winter.
We will cover a few designs of sleds and haul systems
including
the famed Bald Mule land rocket (patent pending) and other
tricks
to get your heavy s#%@ where it needs to be.
Tyler has carried his full winter load plus heads of lettuce,
blocks
of butter and copious quantities of food and is very
experienced
carrying way too much stuff to far off places. He has
extensively
tested the “land rocket”, a hybrid of the a Mueller and Baldwin
designs (lets call it the BaldMueller). The sled is versatile,
effective,
and most importantly, cheap. Tyler will show you how to build
a
BaldMueller and might even help you build it.
After the session, people will be heading to Side Street Pub
and
Grill at 1167 Kensington cres NW. Feel free to continue the
discussions or berate your presenter.
