[quote author=PhantomJug link=1270842942/0#1 date=1270843511]The kayak idea intrigues me.  How does one handle a kayak on portages?

You'd probably need some sort of device, like a big shoulder strap kind of thingy or a removeable protage yoke. I used a yoke. The real pain is packing an unpacking the hatches at each end of the portage....but since you have canoes in the group....maybe you can mooch off off some of their extra carrying capacity.
