Abstract: A travois is provided for pulling behind an operator including a frame having distal and proximal ends, at least two spaced-apart wheels rotatably coupled to the distal end of the frame, and a harness. The proximal end of the frame is coupled to the harness, and the harness is adapted to be pivotally coupled to the operator. A method of transporting a load on a travois behind an operator is provided that includes positioning the load on a frame between first and second ends of the frame, supporting the load at the first end by two spaced-apart wheels, and attaching the second end to the operator so that the hips of the operator support the load at the second end.
