A travois is great on the plains and generally flat firm ground but here the terrain is inconsistently rugged as well as sandy and rocky in parts. However, the travois still helps me move building materials closer to the location of my new hut. In this video we can see it being used in different terrains. I'd like to know your ideas for improvement..... Also, one of my sandals finally broke.

This is the tenth installment of a new series exploring this topic of "New Beginnings".
