The akhio is a fiberglass sled designed to carry up to 200 lb of equipment. Infantry squads usually use them to carry their 10-man tent, stove, fuel, water, and other equipment.

The akhio can also be used to evacuate a casualty.

The sled weighs 38 lb and measures 88 x 24 x 8 in. Three rails on the bottom help the sled track in a straight line.

Maneuvering the fully loaded akhio requires the coordinated efforts of up to four individuals, especially on turns.

It is the U.S. Air Force Combat Control Team (CCT). This article will give you an idea of what these American Warriors do.

Well you sort of asked that, but not really. You implied that you were only planning on staying the night. The initial responses you got addressed building a shelter for the night. Now - could I - yes. To do so properly would take me much longer than a few hours to have shelter for the night. Depending on the size, it could take several months or and entire season to build and chink properly.

And the question remains. Why does it matter if your cell dies? I seriously doubt there would be any cell service 1000 miles from any towns. Could you build a cabin? Yeah eventually, but it would be a ton of work and you would probably have to do a couple "practice" logs first, which would take hours if not days.

The most highly trained and independently operating team of U.S. military men is not the Green beret's, Delta force, Marine recon or Navy seals. This team recruits from the Navy seals first then from everyone else. Can anyone guess what branch of the U.S. military this team belongs to and what they are called?

Air Force, they are PJ's I think.

It would take a week of chopping wood just to build a "cabin" and by that time you would freeze to death or spend so much time you wouldn't have enough time for food etc. Plus if you were 1,000 miles from a town then I am not sure how well you cell phone would work either. If it did work then your GPS signal would bounce off towers creating a triangle effect and generally they would be able to tell where you were within a 20-30 mile radius which if you are in Canada in the area where you could be 1,000 miles from a town then you would be hard to find. Either way how would you get 1,000 miles from a town without someone knowing the area where you were or having some type of transportation.
