Might I ask what you use for a snowmobile tote? Hubby and I live of the grid in the Maine wilderness and though we have one of each (except the smallest) of the Otter totes, we have issues with them. We haul a couple hundred pounds (sometimes lots more) at a time and all winter long. Using those is how we snowmmobile our supplies in during the winter months. Winters are long up this way, especially due to our proximity of Mount Katahdin. While the Otter totes are rugged, the plastic runners that prevent the sled from zig-zagging, crack and break off, and the hitches are always losing the pins, or we bend them. The hitch pins just simply come off on their own, which is furstrating to have to keep replacing them or have to back-track to find where we lost the tote! Though the tote itself is rugged, the rest of it does not hold up to our usage here. We need something more rugged. Somewhow, some way. So, I am looking into other more dependable options. Any suggestions? Anyone? Usage can be seen at our Facebook page, Willey's Dam Camp if that helps anyone. Thanks a bunch for any and all suggestions. We're not novices at living here, but hubby is disabled, which compounds the challenge of this lifestyle. I am a woman who does most, if not all the "labor", and I am tired of replacing and reparing goods that normally would last most people for a life time, but here, we are the real deal. We are not the "Weekend Warrior" type people. We are lucky if anything lasts the winter in here. It seems that nothing is made durable to enough for our usages of them. That information may help you understand what we need, maybe?
