<p>Wow that is an awesome little jack! I suppose for the back country that would be a necessary thing to carry. Very creative! Thanks for sharing that-I may have to build something like that.</p>

<p>Hi Mark, great research and workmanship, as usual.</p>
<p></p>

<p>A carry on-board jacking solution + spare tube/puncture repair kit is now part of my baggage. Here's the lightest (350gm) jack design that I came up with - strictly for emergency use. A few other photos are in the pdf link here.</p>
