A pulk (from Finnish ''pulkka'')〔Called ''pulka'' in Swedish, ''pulk'' in Norwegian, ''bulki'' in Northern Sami.〕 is a Nordic short, low-slung small toboggan used in sport or for transport, pulled by a dog or a skier, or in Lapland pulled by reindeer.〔(The Sámi and their reindeer ) – University of Texas at Austin〕 The sled can be used to carry supplies such as a tent or food, or transport a child or other person. In Norway, pulks are often used by families with small children on skiing trips (small children being pulled by the parents). In Finland, pulks are often used, mostly by children, as a winter toy for going downhill. Pulks are nowadays made of plastic, which makes them inexpensive. A larger pulk, designed for transporting larger amounts of goods, is called ''ahkio'' in Finnish. This word is also used by the US Army for a human-drawn snow sled. ==See also== *Skijoring *Mushing *Sled 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「pulk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
