Nice video. Those are areas I have never seen before.
My trips have all been in the south half of the park.
I never saw portages that rough.

Wabawho: "Yeah, it was a Savage River Deep Creek. My first extended trip with it. While I won't say it was a "joy" to carry over those portages, I didn't find myself cursing it either."
How much does your SRDC weigh, and how did it perform on the water? You have a tandem that you were paddling solo?

I'm not sure the exact weight, somewhere in the mid to high 30's. The center seat is removable depending on whether paddling solo or tandem. The only down side to paddling the standard Deep Creek alone is that it is a bit wider than the solo version, so you have to have a longer wing span or shift your keester a bit to the side you are paddling on. The handling really depended on how I packed the gear in the canoe. If it was even, it paddled true on both sides. Other times the weight wasn't as well distributed and I found it much easier to paddle on one side vs. the other.
