Handled garden tarp from Cool Tools . While the primary purpose is for gardening, these strike me as useful for many types of improvised hauling common in disasters. Not least dirt, sand and gravel for sandbags in floods.

We’ve been thinking about this a bit: perhaps part of the standard inventory for CERT teams should be a few cargo bicycles or carts that can be pulled by bicycles – or by people. (It’s hard to find donkeys and burros in our part of Brooklyn). Here’s a design from the Netherlands: Querida bike from dutchbikes.usQuerida bike from dutchbikes.us Dutch Cargo Tricycle Here’s a link to the U.S. importer. They’ve got a number of other models, too. Here’s cart – other models of this product are in use by the U.S. military – they’ve got one that supports a stretcher – check out how compactly it stores: Charlie’s Horse Model 601 And here it is folded up: Charlie’s Horse Model 601 - folded up Link to the Charlie’s Horse Deployment System. We’re going to see if we can find them in use locally and see how they hold up.]]> http://popularlogistics.com/2007/08/things-with-wheels-that-can-be-used-to-transport-people-and-stuff/feed/ 0
