Who Needs a Wheelpacker?

Who Needs a Wheelpacker?


In general the answer is those who want to enjoy the backcountry experience but can't or don't want to carry the loads that come with backpacking. A partial but more specific list follows.

  • Those who, due to age or physical limitations, cannot tolerate the stress and exertion of carrying loads on their backs.
     

  • Those whose careers or lifestyles preclude the conditioning necessary to carry loads on their backs.
     

  • Those who could carry loads on their backs but want more enjoyment and less pain from their backcountry experiences.
     

  • Those who did carry loads on their backs but no longer can and still long for the backcountry.
     

  • Those parents who want their children to experience the natural world need to carry extra stuff. Wheelpackers can carry more clothes, food, etc. more easily than on the back.
     

  • Those who want to take more (some wine, cheese, and a steak, for instance) to the campsite than a bare minimum.
     

  • Those who use Wheelpacker to establish their base camp and do their bushwhacking as day trips with a fanny pack from there.
     

  • Couples who want the solitude of the backcountry but include a weaker member. The stronger can use the Wheelpacker and the weaker a small rucksack. Together they can easily carry all they need.
     

  • Those, including all of above, who are content to go into the backcountry using maintained, hazard-free trails that the user has familiarized himself or herself with prior to use.
     

Are you a member of one of the groups above? If so, you might want to consider a Wheelpacker. We don't represent it as something that is self- propelled or magic. It is simply an implement that will make a tough job easier, maybe even enjoyable.

To further bring Wheelpacker's advantages into focus, consider that when climbing, using a Wheelpacker takes about the same effort as carrying loads on the back. However, on level ground Wheelpacker is much easier and when going downhill Wheelpacker requires little effort at all. Put this in the context of the trails you plan to hike and it should be of help.
