[Paddlewise] Kayaking the Boundary Waters of Minnesota

Hello All -

I have done many trips on bigger water where I camped night after night 
without unpacking all my gear.  The Boundary Waters is an area 
requiring repeated portaging and take outs.  My questions relate to how 
do others portage this type of terrain?  Do you unload everything into 
a larger bag and carry the kayak empty or throw the minimally loaded 
kayak on your yoke/shoulders and make the carry in one trip?   I have 
problems seeing the justification in unloading and loading your kayak 
maybe ten times each day but maybe that is the only way it can be done. 
   Help me out and others if you have had this type of experience.    

Thanks,
Tom from Wisconsin
