Sorry man, the only way is the old fashioned way, hike it in. Or if you have an atv, I would use that in a HEARTBEAT.

I hike my soil in by loading it into little gorcery bags, I put about 5 in my hiking pacck, and carry 2 by hand, its HEAVY, and I have to go up and down mountains, through mud, pretty much through hell, to get the soil to my spot. Not the funnest part of growing marijuana...

Yea, I know what you mean it looks kinda obvious, haha. I would recommend doing it at night if you can, a full moon would help, think of it as the new moon shining. The soil on site might do just fine with a little help. You might be able to just bring in some polymer crystals, dolomite lime, and some slow release nutes and get some primo bud. People grow in soilless mixtures all the time, ya know? Plus polymer crystals and that would be a lot less to carry.

I back packed my soil in last season. Man o man is it a Fucking hassle to grow outdoors. Plus i had to visit the spot every two weeks and carry down water! I no longer grow outdoors, indoors is just so much easier and way less of a hassle. plus it takes for ever for the things to finish

if you use a lite/airey soil like peat moss then you can throw it in vacume seal bags and in a back pack after that it takes up alot less space.

mix ur soil up at home then line ur back pack with a good garbage bag or 2 and fill up full( to make the most of each trip) or wut i used and had awsome results with fora first grow was i dug about 1'x1'ft holes saved the black top soil and got rid of half the sandy soil and ne rocks bigger than 1"in added sum perlaite and sum spagnum peatmoss sprinkled on a layer of bone and bloodmeal slow release fert then shook all the dirt i could outs the top soil clump and about 1/2 cup of wood ashes and mixed throughly watered heavily then 2 days later planted the 3 in sprouts and watered a bout 1/2 gal. in each hole ended up with 5 ft monster bushes ^.^ only ended up watering 2 times the whole summer(no ferts either) and it was a fairly dry summer also

long story short try too use the soil thats in ur spot or near by to your advantage ur would most like end up spending less and doing less work and still have good results also remeber make sure to not plant in rows but plant sparesly over the area less chance of people noticing and try not to use 1 path to check on your plants cuase from above it will stand out like a highway. well hope this helps ya with sum ideas and gl!!

yeah if I lived around where it snowed I would use a sled.

But as far as hiking in at night... I just cant see in the dark, and hiking through the treacherous that I do, going at night would be a nono.

Not to mention the boars around here, which are nocturnal >.<.

But if you area is relatively flat, no bears/wolves/coyotes or other animals that will eat you alive in the dead of the night, then go for it.

put a plastic lining in a hiking bag and trek it that way,, way safer with your arms free for ballance then two arms arround a big slippery , handel-less bag of soil

how bad is the soil where the grow is? you can always doctor it up with npk that would be way easy to hike in.
