Adirondack Pack Basket

So I was surfing the world wide webs yesterday and came upon the Adirondack Pack Basket. Used by trappers up in the Adirondack to carry supplies it is a robust backpack for both the land and the water.

I found plans for one yesterday, and I'm going to attempt to build one. I tried the art of basket weaving in East Aurora. I got a kit at Vidlers 5 and Dime. That one didn't turn out so well, and I could never find a use for it.

Some people say this is campy. Well I dont give a f*ck.

The Extracycle

So I found this bike company called Xtracycle and I'm all about their Free Radical system. Theres a video of how it works here. It elongates your bike so you can carry more stuff. I wonder what I could haul around on this? There's a guy that goes on rides in Austin on one of these and has this huge sound system on the back of it with lights. Surly also makes a frame.
