Can someone tell me how to post a photo here? I have already uploaded it but I'm not sure what to do next.

Thank you sir. The thread about mountain surveying got me to reminscing so I thought I'd post a photo.

I've always wanted an ATV utility trailer, maybe some day.

Noticed your use of many bungee straps.

A few years ago started using a rope ratchet and don't need the bungees as much as before and the rope ratchets tools hold firm, lasts longer and can be used in more situations.

A Harris, That strap looks pretty good. I need to try something else because those bungee cords dont last long. I'm always afraid one is going to break and hit me in the face!!

The trailer comes in handy but the roads are rocky where I'm working so I still end up strapping most stuff to the quad because things bounce around back there quite a bit.

@Jim, That thing looks like a rikshaw! Is it all human power or do you tow it as well? It looks like its built well, where did you get it?

@Harold, That's a pretty nice rig. The best thing I did to ours was put chains on the front. That made a huge difference on the hilly, snow covered terrain around here (although you probably wouldn't need them there). Our rig was brand new in October but we've already put 250 miles on it during this project alone.
