i like how these how to videos are narrated in post production instead of trying to talk while actually performing the operations; wind noise, etc. I like this video.
Decades ago I had an old wood-canvas canoe. In Canada, the Chestnut Leader was THE down-river racer. At 18 feet long and a narrow hull it was fast. But it weighed 95 pounds--when completely dry. Whew!
Good information. I may get a dolly for some of my steeper carries. Thank you. Curious about the background noise? Something gets screaming loud, as if a vacuum cleaner is plugging up 😳
@@PottyPaddler That makes sense. I’m camping currently and cannot access one of the canoe routes solo. I’m able to solo on others around here so I’m all good. Had a buddy with me last week and we could access the route together, or he could carry canoe himself, younger and stronger, but the very long steep decline is too hard on my old knees. My hips both have replacement joints. Portages uphill are fine but I’m going to need a trolley for longer steep declines. That’s how I came across your video. Take good care.
i call bullshit on that being an 88lbs canoe! my OT Tripper is 80lbs aand 17ft and considered a heavey canoe. no way you would be spinning around with it
Your Tripper will be made from Royalex and not out of Mad River "Triple Tough" PE ... my 17' NovaCraft Royalex Prospector is way lighter than my 16' Mad River Explorer TT shown in the video

I found this very helpful. Thanks
Thanks a million for the clear demo.
Everybody loves listening to a shop vac during a canoe narration
Nice Demo, I do something similar.

I'm not sure where that background noise came from, I suspect it's the cooling fan on the PC I used 😲

Yea the family canoe I got from my dad is the OT Tripper, such a pain to portage man. Saving for a better one aha
