thinking about getting one of these too, my homemade rig works but can be a pain sometimes, the video online for these things looks amazing, $160 is pricey though.

Looks like they've taken end carts a step further. Possible downsides are narrow wheels if you cart across soft surfaces and low ground clearance on rough terrain. At one point in the video, the yak was dragging over an obstacle.

End carts in general are quick and easy to put on the yak. Being on the end, you are carrying most of the weight.

There are less expensive end carts if you're looking for an end cart to use on firm, smoothish ground....Paddleboy's original large runs $100

I have multiple spots that this would make the whole experience much better.

thanks for the link.


If it actually does what it looks like it does, its 100% worth the money.

The only down side is taking the thing apart to store.

You already have a ton of things to deal with.
