Hade en exakt likadan, också köpt i närheten av Hammarplast — men Hammarplast hade väl en helt annan logga? Det står ”sno rider” precis under dragsnöret och nedanför det, till höger om loggan, står något — kanske tillverkarens namn? Vore kul att veta; min pulka höll i 30 år och hade säkert hållit ännu längre, om jag inte hade lånat ut den till en som var ovarsam…

Reply to suggestions on high quality durable usb3.0 drives? by TurokDinoHunterN64

If you want to store important stuff that you don't want to lose I would recommend a hard drive. When usb stop working is easier to lose that information and never get it back, meanwhile with a hard drive there's more possibilities that you can recover all. Also hard drives have more memory and you could get one of 1tb, that could store everything for many years, for a reasonable price.

Canadian here. Definitely toboggan. A sledge is a heavy hammer. A sled is a snowmobile. A sleigh is the thing on metal runners that horses pull.

But where I’m from, nobody used those flimsy plastic toboggans. Getting a GT Snowracer for Christmas was a rite of passage. When we hit the hills, we called it “GTing” (jeeteeing). Those toboggans were for little kids.

U.S. here. You can just buy a deer sled here for like $30. They are made for hunters to haul deer out of the woods. Wider and shorter than regular sleds, but they fit one adult well. They look roughly the same as the sleds pictured here. I bolted backpack straps on mine and strap it on when i go snow shoeing.
