Do to non-disclosure agreements, I can't show you the real model. But when fully rigged it stores the decoy bag, shot gun, and blind bag.
Does non-disclosure agreement mean his wife might find out? That would be kind of cool to see it all set-up if it's legit.

Here is my poor man's ATV from late last season... The all terrain Radio Flyer! I had to drag that sucker over a mile one way through the mud to get to our spot. Later I bought a Jet Sled to put on top of it so when we got to the water we could float everything the rest of the way. Worked great, my boy got to help, too.

I have my yak that I drag behind me just about all my walk in spots. I can load it down with 16 decoys a gun and my backpack. I use a tow rope and pull it like a tire pull workout. Then it can be used as a blind a bird fetcher or just as a gear sled.

Pack as light as possible. And then take some more stuff out. I've seen a guy retrieve birds swimming on top of a full decoy bag.

I've used the kayak before as well. Love hunting out of that thing.

Larry- I use a wagon too!!! I got one from Barbour freight!! Big fat wheels. Only prob is I need to make the wheels wider. It has a tendency to lay over going over brush and rocks.

Swedish boat cart. The only picture I have is under the layout boat, but center balanced under my big kayak I can easily portage a long ways with gear. Then break down the cart and stow it in the nose of the yak. I have even put it under my small 9 ft kayak to use the boat only as a cart before. I replaced the tubes with solid ones. No worrys with cactus and mesquite.

Minimum amount I bring in walking depends on what's happening with the birds. I've walked in as many as a 100 plus decoys with a buddy of mine when we were young and stupid ... but now I wont bring anymore than 2 dozen.

Buy appropriate gear... ghg with 8oz weights are a no go. Buy super light acadamy deeks and texas rig em.. nothing about a walk is easy with gear... this is also a good time to introduce your son/nephew/ teenager to hunting..haha

Here is a pic of a guy in Illinois that is hunting on a walk in only place. You can see his car in the background.

I can't believe someone suggested suiting up for gear hauling practice and someone else came in right behind him and said ^^THIS Not everyone is in epic shape such as the hayraker of the americas. I think it's a good idea, If I was out of shape I'd do it to get serious. Since I walk several miles everyday, work in the sun, haul around a bunch of heavy suff, and bust my arse 12-16hrs a day. There's no way in hell I'm going to do this. carry on -Matt
