pikeypaul 11 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 (edited) Hi guys, Sick of carrying 2 to 3 double boxes i had this brain wave of a back pack. The back pack is made of 9mm plastic facia board glued and screwed, This is much lighter than 2 boxes made of 9mm ply and easier to carry,First pic bare plastic, Second pic grey under coat and third pics diy camo. What you guys think. Edited April 14, 2011 by pikeypaul Quote Link to post

comanche 2,939 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 The unpainted version reminds me of an AGA for some reason. The only person it has to please is the fellow who has to carry it and if he finds it easier then its a success !. Quote Link to post
Ideation 8,216 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Can you not just stick 6 ferrets in one box and be away, how big are your ferrets? Tidy bit of construction anyhow. Quote Link to post

moxy 617 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 I like your idea but there is no way i would be lugging that about, fair play to you though. Alternatives would be, Quad bike, or your own sherpa's. You could always stick wheels on it and ride it back to the motor. Quote Link to post
The one 8,463 Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Nice and if it works for you go with it , I get four jills in one box though and eight in the bigger carrying box Quote Link to post
stubby 175 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 good idea, hows it handle climbing over gates/fences, or pushing your way through bushes Quote Link to post
rob190364 2,594 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I started using bags instead of boxes at the end of last season, I much prefer them, got them off ebay for a tenner each. The only problem with that box is that if you slipped and landed on your arse you'd by lying there all day!!! Quote Link to post
