Although heavy, a Grumman (or Old Town Tripper) is probably the ideal bushwhack canoe.  I can't tell you how many hours I have spent crashing through the trackless bush under a Grumman, while glancing at my compass (all in northern Ontario and western Quebec).  The nice thing is you can drag them through gnarly swamps and pound on their hulls to round up your widely scattered trip mates!

Amen brother !
In fact, I've even used mine as a bridge, several times.
