In my most recent playthrough, I found lots of fallen tree trunks suitable for cabin construction. Unfortunately they are all several 'blocks' away (I'm using 1 'block' to describe 1 world map square).

Are there any efficient ways to haul logs/tree trunks etc. over long distances aside from using raft? BAC has sledwagon, but as far as I know, for vanilla gameplay using raft is practically the only way to do so.

Thanks.

PS tried to search but couldn't find any mention of long distance hauling anywhere in this forum.

You can also pack one onto a bull. If it's a small bull, you might have to carve it into a log first.

I rarely buy pack animals. Will have to remember to buy some bulls for my next playthrough.  :)

PS the one time I ever bought a reindeer, I got unlucky and had the reindeer got attacked and killed by a pack of wolves while travelling.. :(

Thanks Felis.

I'll keep it in mind next time I'm playing with mod as alternative to the sledwagon. :)
