Halve the weight?

RE: Halve the weight?
All Terrain push chairs… it sounds a little off topic but I am very impressed with their ability to carry a load off road at speed. I bought one as soon as I found out a man-cub was on the way, as I generally find that anywhere pushchair friendly isn’t worth a visit. Ours has three fixed wheels, pneumatic tyres and suspension. It’s designed to enable you to jog off road with a baby, and it works very well. I have taken ours up mountains, admittedly Welsh mountains that can be walked up rather than scrambled up on all fours climbing, but none the less, pretty hardcore terrain for a pushchair.

It got me thinking that this is a good way to haul kit. You can run with it, take it anywhere you can walk, and pack a lot of weight into it.
Pushing a pushchair isn’t entirely suspicious either. Once the youngling is old enough to use his legs, I am seriously considering hanging on to that push chair for use as such a tool.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but the thing works insanely well.

They are expensive to buy new, but I picked ours up cheap used from Mumsnet. I’m sure you all already use Mumsnet to shop for your survival equipment though Wink

So important kit goes in your webbing and extra kit in the chair. Instant dumping if you need to. It doesn’t attract attention (webbing will though) and goes anywhere you can run.

Not necessarily the ultimate in bug out buggies, but has to be worth considering?
