Hi everyone! I am new on this forum so first of all I would like to say that I am glad to be here with all of you. I am from Argentina and I plan hiking pushing/pulling a mobile kitchen. Sounds little bit crazy I guess, I plan to build a small handcart to load all the kitchen on it. How much weight you think I can push/pull (cart weight incluses) on a two-wheels cart for long treks (25 Km/day). Thanks for your help!

What kind of paths? City sidewalks? Narrow wilderness paths? Here in the US, for the kind of trekking we do, we only carry a small stove and 1 pot. My total kitchen weighs 6 ounces plus 8 ounces of fuel for my own use over 7 days. ( Less than 1/2 Kilo, total)

There are several single wheel carts that generally are designed for the trail but only hold 20-25 kg . They are the type you can also carry on your shoulders when needed. (Dixon Rollerpack, Carrix..) Then there are commercially and home made two wheelers made for road/bike trail or desert walking. They can carry 75kg or more . see this link for example : jeffshea.org/andes-dream/ |

Have you considered the weight you'll be able to push uphill? And the weight you'll be able to stop from rolling away from you downhill? It might be easier to make suggestions if we knew what you wanted to load into this cart? A full dinner set, small propane BBQ, and stocked icebox? For reference my mobile kitchen (basically what Zeke described):  Optimus Crux (<3oz) and 8oz fuel canister. |

somehow I don't think that is what the OP had in mind.

I would like to pack some pans, food and a rocket stove and trekking gear. Top of the kitchen cart would be a cooking table. A lot of weight I guess, but someone knows how much weight in a cart a regular person (1,71mts, 81kg) can bear?  Something like that I guess. |
