ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates particularly to a two wheeled cart for transporting supplies over a trail and other outdoor terrain. The present invention generally comprises a load support frame having a handlebar and two wheels rotatably secured to the distal portion of the frame. The wheels are either fixed so as to be closely spaced apart in a narrow stance to promote balance yet allow passage through narrow areas, or, the wheels can be made so that they can be interchangeably mounted in a narrow stance or a wider stance to satisfy whatever conditions are present. The frame may be synclinally shaped which when combined with narrowly stanced wheels produces an overall wedge like shape to the cart of the present invention which can more easily pass through or by vegetation. The present invention may further include one, all, or any combination of a bag secured to the frame, a hand controlled brake, a body harness attached to the frame, a raised cross piece (handle/stopper) located at the distal end of the frame, a tow line, and an odometer. The frame of the cart of the present invention may be made of a proximal portion and a distal portion assembled with fasteners to form the frame member. Further, the distal portion may be adapted to be used as a smaller utility cart when the proximal portion is removed.
