And BENESSE, you know that you do take one step at a time when doing that, and not "skate" up the hill? 50lbs is about 20-25kg, and that's pretty light on a sled...
Survival is not about surviving AGAINST the nature. It's about surviving WITH the nature.
You can't go in to nature, nature is not a place or an object. Nature just is. You are living it.

Never tried pulling sled behind me uphill.

IIRC Until you got used to the 100 Lb Pack. getting it on made you look like a monkey humping a football or one of the three stooges.
AHHHHH Youth.
100 lbs nowdays is 2 packs in the back of my jeep.
