Large boat shaped Conestoga wagons were widely used for freighting, but were too long, heavy, and cumbersome to be practical for a long journey over the Oregon Trail. Emigrant wagons were smaller and lighter, and did not require as many draft animals. There was no single design for emigrant wagons - some were smaller, lighter versions of the boat shaped Conestogas, and some were custom designed and built with double decks or special storage features.

Both of these models have a steel wagon bed with wood sides that are bolted in but may be removed with a screwdriver and a wrench.

We do not think that the schooner rig is very suitable for the Pahi 42, it would be quite 'crowded' on this design. However, if you are keen on the schooner rig, but the Pahi 63 is too large, perhaps you should look at the Pahi 52. See similar questions...

Yes, we have a sag wagon for medical emergencies and mechanical breakdowns. Where possible, our vehicles are equipped with ATOC Topper Racks to be able to carry you and your bicycle back to camp, if necessary.

Prairie restoration is an attempt to re-create a native grassland--in our case a mix of tallgrass and midgrass prairie. Restoration ecology is a discipline in its own right, and recognizes that the original ecology can't be recreated in one human lifetime--but a functional semblance can. By replacing non-native pasture grasses and forbs with native grasses in the original flora and native forbs, the restored prairie can once again sustain prairie wildlife. See similar questions...
