RULK
A convertible 2-in-1 rucksack-pulk for variable winter terrain
Designed by Andrew Baines
Human history is defined by finding easier ways to move heavy things. We wheel our suitcases and shopping trolleys because pulling is almost always more efficient than carrying.
But wheels don’t work on snow.
On snowy terrain, explorers traditionally use “pulks” (towable sleds) to move gear. However, pulks become a nightmare on steep, or rocky terrain. Much like trying to drag a suitcase up a cobbled street, eventually, you just have to pick it up…
The RULK is a 2-in-1 convertible rucksack-pulk solution to this problem. Pull it where you can across flat snow and ice, and carry it where you need to when crossing obstacles. The RULK is the ultimate gear-hauling system for the traversal of variable winter terrain.
