Just tossing it out there and asking, has anyone here ever used any of the Kamp-rite products. I have been looking at various items they have and one that i came across was the Kamp-rite Brushtrekka. It was just something interesting that i saw. It seemed like they attempt to tackle a good amount of features into one package although the weight seems up there overall.

Currently, i have used some major streamlined items for any short overnight treks. I use a ENO hammock with slap straps for versatility in slapping it up to any two trees with some margin for error. I used the hammock, ran some paracord above between the two trees. pinned up a small and inexpensive tarp above me, and draped over a mosquito net which i tucked in around me. It is a very light combo with all these items and it was very comfortable. This seems like it had many features together.

Any thoughts?

45 lbs. of trailer? No thanks. For a frame of reference, the B.O.B. Yak with dry bag is 18 lbs.

56 lbs O__O

That's a deal breaker. it looks unfortunately overbuilt with cheaper metals, but I suppose that's what keeps the price down.

I've seen that trailer come up a few times on the forums, but as far as I know nobody has been brave enough to lug it up mountains.

I did see a custom trailer once that was a huge rainbow shaped pole that he could sling a hammock under, and strap gear to while he was riding. Same idea but much less weight. Wish I could find the photo.

That 56 lbs. doesnt include the rest of your gear.Id hate to have to pull all that up a mountain.

Pulling it uphill would be bad. The descent on the otherside of the mountain would be frightful to say the least.

That was my thoughts too. Even the tents alone are rather hefty. What are other people using? Anyone else using a cart? If so, recommendations? i like the BOB yak and similar types.
