My Canoeing Setup and MEC Fulcrum Guide PFD Review
Canoe season is around the corner and here are some thoughts on my setup from a trip last season. My goal is to take my fast and light approach from alpinism and apply it to the portage trail. Double carrying sucks... so don't do it. Travel light, be comfortable enough and be able to run on the trail. Have 30 second transitions in and out of the canoe. Put on your pack and go! My pack was 25 lbs on this trip. My first trip my pack was 60 lbs. That's the same as my pack + the canoe on this trip. Fast and light! Go further, see more nature and less people!
