Those pins are junk. put some 1/4-inch stainless bolts with telfon lock nuts. Not gonna come apart. Harder to store...

Build a frame out aluminum, weld or bolt it up, use wheelchair wheels. The non pneumatic type. Will go over a lot of woodland debris.

I built a rickshaw style cart out of thick wall EMT and a couple of mountain bike tires. It was the best card I have ever used. It was long enough to use as a ramp to get the deer into the truck and I could actually step in the first part of the cart so I could pull it very easily.

This is the bottom section that shows how I did the wheels. I can’t weld so it was a bolt together job.

That looks pretty cool. And doable. It would be unstoppable with a couple of cheap fat bike wheels.
