I have often thought of poling, but my balance is nowhere near adequate. After watching this, I'm positive of it !
How much more difficult is it with a tripping load? Say, 60 - 100 pounds of gear?
at 4:40 was that eddy/plume/whatever it is actually called actually holding the canoe in position, or was I missing something that the poler was doing?
Had to laugh at 6:00. Every time someone tries to look cool...
