This year in Quetico will be slightly different experience. Since high school and then moving forward my group have always had 6 people. Thus larger food packs and more gear but there was also more backs to spread the gear around. Well this year I will be a part of lonely group of 2. We are going for 11 days and we would like to continue to single portage.
I know many people travel regularly travel in groups of 2. What is your set up? What we where considering is taking 2 packs Duluth style packs. 1 pack mainly for our personal gear, ie sleeping bag, mat, clothes etc. 1 pack with our food and cooking gear. Then on the portage one would carry the canoe and the lighter pack, while the other gets the heavier pack, and fishing poles.
What I suspect/fear is that we will simply not be able to get all the food in one pack, without packing extremely light.
