Balancing a curved yoke on the pack straps sounds a lot more comfortable than balancing it on the neck muscles. Since I tried one of the portage yokes with the two shoulder pads, I haven't gone back to the curved yokes, the difference in comfort is incredible. I've got an early October meeting in Minneapolis and it is looking more and more like my after meeting trip to BWCAW will be a solo. Piragis rents a plastic sea kayak, which for a three day excursion is probably better than trying to keep a solo canoe going in a straight line. I've taken Scout groups up two of the last three years so I'd like to see some of the quiet BWCAW everyone keeps talking about ;) The weather that time of year can be real iffy, but the bugs and crowds are gone so it should still be a great trip. ,,, (o o) ==================oOO--(_)--OOo========================== Bob Washburn whiterabbit_at_iw.edwpub.com or rwashbu_at_siue.edu The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. ========================================================= *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Wed Jul 15 1998 - 19:27:58 PDT
