I can see a true need for a service like this. As ailments prevent many from performing the tasks necessary in canoe tripping we will see more requests like this. The same service could be used by those that want to pay someone to portage gear and run the camp so they do not have to.

I agree, but with fewer and fewer young people getting into outdoor type activities where are those  "Sherpa"s" going to come from?

I see fewer and fewer young people every trip. :(

Maybe the middle-age guys can help the older "seasoned" paddlers for now, but eventually we'll need new young blood to make the idea work long term, or I would think so at least. :-/
