Dog sled on raised platform.

The Inuit's put the sleds and kayaks on platforms to keep out of snow and to keep dogs from eating rawhide parts. They don´t need to search that long after the sledges and kayak´s in the winter, the snow simply drift by, and moven along, no dunes were gathered around them as it would be if they were placed directly on the ground...
