Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 This cart is just so tiny and "cute". I have intended to take some pics of it for a long time, but I didn't have my camera (don't have a smartphone) with me whenever I would see him. Dusty Leather has been using this cart for years, so it apparently holds up well. I asked him once how it was on rough ground and he said "fine". I guess if the ground is really bad you could pick up the cart and carry it over a rough spot! Just another method for folks looking for ideas for simple carts.

El CupAJoe Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Sweet cart! He might need a new alias, that leather doesn't look very dusty to me. Looks like the Hunter brand shotshell belt. I bought a new, old stock Hunter ShotShell belt off ebay in December and the stitching for the shell loops was brittle. Same brittle stitching with a Hunter brand shoulder holster I picked up in November. I have some waxed thread laying around to effect a mend, but I busted all my leather needles a while back and need to pick up some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chancy how much of a liability are pack animals at matches? might need to carry my mountain howitzer just in case... I find it prudent to wait to apply the sunscreen until after you've unloaded the mule, keeps your hands from getting slick... Also if your mountain howitzer doesn't come with an aspirin pouch mounted to the caisson you need to get one, your mule will thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 im very much in tune with the minimalist design and theory for the cart , i use a bag boy golf cart - less minimalist that his design but far less cumbersome than most in our game , the only things i see as flaws in my experience is the narrow wheel base and narrow stand base , the only reason i say that is most places i shoot are rough terrain for that narrow wheel set and too sloped for that stand base to be stable , ive never seen anyones cart tip over spilling the contents but i have seen a couple that had to adjust to get them to stay upright , i appreciate the workmanship he has detailed into that simple system , it would sure pack easily even in a compact car trunk , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if the ground is really bad you could pick up the cart and carry it over a rough spot! It would be real simple to replace those wheels with a couple of flotation tires from Harbor Freight. Might have to adjust the mounting brackets slightly but it would work. There are times when a minimalist cart is just the ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
