Instead of paying $100 for one of these, http://www.seatosummit.com/products/display/166
I got the idea for a simple PVC tubing version that MAYBE cost me $10 max. After messing around with a few different ideas I ended up with this version. Seems to work great although I haven't used it in the field, it works great rolling it around the yard and driveway and with a couple of modifications still to be made it should weigh less than 3 lbs and will dis-assemble to fit in the stowage area and out of the way in case I'm too lazy to take it back to the car after I get everything rigged up. After I took these pics I shortened the lower verticles 2" so it's a little lower to the ground. Old hand truck wheels and axle, some 3/4 " PVC, some 1/2 " PVC and 4 fittings. Will see how it works in the real world soon!
