I know of Northern Sled Works, but wasn't there someone else making them as well? Going to buy a sled this week, thinking about the mid sized Cross Fox from Northern Sled Works. Just wanted to see what other options there are. Tired of Otter Sleds breaking.

Save yourself the trouble of inevitable problems........... purchase one from Northern Sled Works.

Quality product, made by a longtime member/supporter of ATA. Dave is a stand-up guy.

X3. David makes a great sled and supports trappers and the A.T.A. What else do you need to know?

He gives an ATA discount on the sleds.

I've got three of them and they're the best I've ever used. Why look elsewhere?

Y'all convinced me, I like to support outdoorsmen. I know they're good quality, my trapping partner has one, it's been used hard for years, still going. [Linked Image]
Here's a picture of my partner's.

I have an 8 footer. Its not big enough for the loads I carry so going to a 10 footer. I use it for hauling wood in the winter.


Water is good for two things, Floating Ships and making Beer.

There was another guy making sleds, I have 4 of them. Unfortunately he died in a plane crash about a year ago.

I ordered an 8' Cross Fox with the heavy duty hitch, double skegs, and half runners in front of the skegs. Thought about getting the 10', but our trap line trail has some tight turns in it.

Me and my trapping partner will both have the same sled now, and we always travel together, due to the 200 to 250 mile loop we make. We'll have enough room on both sleds for gear and critters. Always have.

Got the medium size Cross Fox, heavy duty hitch, two skegs, two runners in front of them. About 300 miles on it so far. Perfect for the trapping I do, large enough to haul what I need, big enough for a moose or 3 caribou, small enough to go through trees easily.

Going to get one of their bigger sleds eventually for wood, but this will do for now. Most of my wood I get by boat in the spring and fall anyway.

I got mine from Northway. Excellent sled. He just went through here with a load of plastic he picked up in the lower 48. He will have some for sale probably by summer.

Where is someone in St. Mary's going to get caribou?
I have an 8 footer, tough and very useable. Had a couple 10s in Nome that would haul Musk Ox whole.

Have to go up around Unalakleet or down around Bethel to get caribou. We prefer caribou over moose, my wife has requested that I kill some every year. It's a hard task, but someone has to do it. laugh
