Is there a prize for fastest portage time?? I thought this was a vacation...

OS,

Try telling that to my son ,Mr Evinrude. We should be more like S2 and take pictures on the portages.


Magic

The average person walks 3 MPH unloaded. Including load and unload time, over the years, my observations have noted that easier portages seem to work out to 2 MPH, average portages about 1.5 MPH and ugly portages (Fern to Olifaunt at days end in 80 degree weather:)) 1 MPH or less. In my travels, the majority of groups that I have seen double portage so the length of the portage must be multiplied by three. Using 320 rods as one mile one must do the math from there. BUSHWACKING though is an entirely different story. All bets are off and all calculations out the window.......as you and KF already know. You and KF both have my respect ;)
