This is a great video, and an awesome idea. Obviously, Mr. Hatrup is the man.
Here's a video from Brooks Range Mountaineering about putting together a sled that requires less improvising. It's 13-minutes long, so we anticipate that people will fast-forward through some parts. It was designed as a reference tool more than an entertainment piece.

Good to know, but man, what a pain in the butt if you had to actually drag out your buddy.

Thanks for sharing. This is one of the things you learn in Wilderness First Responder courses. I look at it like a beacon-something that can save lives but you never really want to deal with. Still, good stuff to know for ANY bc sliders and a great post for the site.
