You just toss your big packs and $5,000 petrochemical canoe over the cliffs . . . and do this:

Oh boy. Our poling aficionados might be able to make use of that.
I'm not sure where I would store the 30 foot, goat fat encrusted piece of wooden portage aid when not in use. I'm also sure my arthritic right ankle would love that landing given that my grip strength (and, therefore, potential braking ability) seems to be decreasing with the passing years.
Pretty cool concept though. Neighbors, no doubt, thought the first guy to try it was nuts. (I can hear his mother screaming even now)

LOL. I have actually done it - just the pole sliding part. And just for about five feet. It saves the knees. Only threw in one end of the canoe.
Humans are amazing problem solvers. It looks very well controlled.

Dry land snubbing to the extreme. They look like nice poles.
I was wondering how to best use all my surplus goat fat...
