Portaging Trip Plans

[Island Jay]

all very good info...and Dan O.....u said it....it just hurts...its the price of being a tripper....
a trick I learnt from one of kevin Callahans books is to pack light....then spread all your gear on the lawn and start cutting stuff out or off....seriously...cut your toothbrush in half....thats a 50% weight change....and if you sit back and really look at everything you can really lighten your load....and the weight of even half a tooth brush can be felt on a 5 km portage.
