> A pleasure to drive, Low-tech Magazine’s handcart demonstrates the advantages of slow, human-powered transportation.
> The human-powered handcart is the oldest of vehicles, and it will likely be the last one around in the future. Of all vehicles, it’s the cheapest and least complex to build and use. It offers a large advantage over carrying a load on your back or dragging it over the ground - the even older concept of the sled. On the other hand, the handcart is cheaper and easier to use than the animal-powered cart. Oxen and donkeys eat more than humans, and they have their own will, which can work against the driver.
Maybe fun for difficult terrain, survival preparedness, or as a kind of backpacking
Yes. Yes they do. You know what they eat? What we don't. So that argument is bullshit.
