After seeing the most bizarre ways of carrying a kayak on the shoulder, I decided to present my technique. Over the years I always think it has saved me a bit of effort in transporting the canoe.
The trick I'm presenting in the video below is based on the use of the leg as a support point for the canoe. This technique can also be applied by people a little less forceful than mine
Carrying the canoe on the shoulder has never been and will never be effortless. However, a correct technique can save you some effort especially in the back.
Have good portages and long putin..
