--- Quote from: Slowhatch on January 29, 2009, 04:46:15 PM ---The best I can do on the wooden backpacks is Kraxe. These days Kraxe refers to baby-carriers, but in the past "kraxentragers" were wandering woodcarvers who sold their supply off their backs. (see here). I don't know who makes them, but the ones the racers used seemed rather flimsy.

This is the info I found on them earlier in the week. They were simply referred to as a Holzräf (Wooden pack)
I'd posted this in the speculation thread instead of here.

I haven't been able to find a really close match yet, but it seems that they are a traditional Swiss German Räf defined here as
"A frame for carrying objects on one’s back, with which one can balance cumbersome and heavy loads over the centre line of the body, thus making them easier to carry."
The picture on this page here has been removed, but I think the comment is referring to the same piece of apparatus
"The wooden backpack is also used for carrying the large cheeses down into the valley."

Oh its the one they have been playing over and over Uncle Bill, I think the snow mobiles are season 6/ Iceland and the mountain climbing either season 4 or 5 I think? but its a montage of past season/clips thats all.
