I been thinking that dog sled / troll cart is a good potential to use as a transportation.

Dog sled has been used for so many years to travel in the wilderness, it was around 1896 it became very commonly in Alaska, and it has been more common in other countries as well.

Alaskan Malamute and Siberian Husky has been used for transporting humans and cargo because they are large and capable of pulling heavy weight over long distances, and can handle all types of weather.

I think this could be a huge upgrade and that many people would enjoy using sleds or troll carts, troll carts can also be used all around the year.

I think it would make such a great atmosphere and made people feel closer to the wilderness.

It´s very varying when you think how many dogs that would be necessary to pull the sled / troll cart
some people use only 2 dogs others use up to 10.

I believe a good amount of dogs would be 4 - 6 dogs. you don't necessarily need a leader dog in front, but some people use it and others don´t.

Something that is also very common but not really a huge necessarily thing, is that they also can carry passengers as well, both humans and dogs, but very often it´s mostly equipment they have in the sled.

The troll cart comes with a seat but I seen people that have removed the seat as well and used it for equipment.

It would have been fun for the online part to be able to have a extra player in the sled / troll cart.

And the dogs would make probably a little bit less noise then the ATV but it would be very equal compared to all the barking that comes along with the dogs.

I also think the sled / troll cart is very optimal when it comes to terrain when you think about the muscles and forces the dogs have.

People have made it through the wilderness by using it for so long, even in the worst kind of weather and conditions.

This type of dogs has been used for such type of work for many years and I believe it would have been amazing to put in to the game.

I am all open for other peoples suggestion and meanings, share your thoughts.

I like the idea.

This would actually be such a cool way to travel around the map . On snow maps the sled can have runners and on other maps the sled will have wheels .... Not as fast as the ATV but faster than running and quieter than the ATV .... I would use this pretty much exclusively .... What a great dlc idea !!

If the sled doesn't carry the depot to change the hunting equipment as it is available in the camp, this would be practically useless and very expensive in terms of creation and development. The electric quad is eco-friendly and makes less noise, but i do not need it because it is just an idea. With my classic and noisy quad and it is sufficient for me. And I don´t know how comfortable it is to drive the sled on narrow roads and tight turns. With the camp in the backpack and the quad, I 'll be able to go much farther.

Most of the maps would be ill suited for sled dog travel. Temperatures in real life would be cooking any traditional sled dogs. Mushers have to help too. Hills and such aren’t just left to the dogs to maneuver. Plus how will you account for the people who run their vehicles over cliffs. How would a dog team account for those player actions.
