[quote=Edchris177]Doing anything in soft sand, except partying is a real PITA. Once way back when I flew floats for a living we arrive at a high Arctic exploration camp, only to find the monkeys who cached the fuel (during the winter, on skis) had dropped it in muskeg a good 100 yds from any access point. We scrounged all the dimensinal lumber at the camp & laid it out like narrow gauge rails, then rolled the 50 gal drums along it dubbed the K-Tel Road Project. A variation of the theme would work for you. Bring 4 eight foot 2x4s, lay them perpindicular to the hulls & slide the cat along them. You only need two pieces under tha cat at any one time. It will slide very easily, a couple of you push, the other become Egyptians, moving the pieces from the rear & placing them in front as you proceed. If the sand is relatively level & not to soft you can get away with pieces only 3-4' long. You could cut 8 footers into 3, & just have the guys pick up & lay down as you push it. If the sand is very soft, you may have to substitute 2x6 to get better floatation. Total cost, less than $20. As said borrow wheels if you can, but i used that method to move my cat several hundred feet the first time I assembled it.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by Edchris177 on May 23, 2011 - 08:16 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
