That's great! If you are built like Amy... I'm a bit less than average male, and she could fold me like a carboard box... If you are like me you need to start further to the back of a canoe using the opposite end as a third leg and then "walk" your way to the middle.

Im going to go try rn but im not sure if my canoe is much heavier than yours or you just make it look so easy!

A quality wheeled caddy is a lifesaver if you possibly can use it.

As a physiotherapist I would think you would advocate a safer way to lift a canoe by yourself than this... I mean same basic technique done from farther back and then walking your hands to the balance point is way safer.. just sayin

Крепкая девченка😊

a hug straight from Brazil, like the video

A great way to prevent back injuries is to LIFT WEIGHTS EVERY DAY your welcome

That's how I learned to do it years ago. Here's an alternate technique for older people or those who don't feel as strong: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXnSqoeXd5qeobc

I prevent back injuries by letting everyone else do the lifting.

You and your technique are both beautiful. 🙂Very impressive! Thanks!

Buy a lighter canoe!! Been thru when canoes were fiberglass monster heavy's. Someone very skillful dead on accurate artisans made a stripper canoe as the "plug" for the female mold. In marathon canoe racing competitors made their own designs in strip canoes. These had to be 27" wide at the 3" water line at the widest point(maybe midships) 33" wide at the gunnels with 18 foot-6" overall length 10" minimum at stern and 15" at bow. Most of the best builders strip boats came in at near or less than 35 pounds. Now some sellers do this in RIGID Carbon-Fiber @ 26 to 31 pounds. Duh one hand like a heavy briefcase handling.

Wow, I bet you can roll a cigarette in one hand and me with the other. And no padding on the yoke. Well done.

Bonjour, il y a 4 ans et demi j'ai eu une chute sur une table en plastique, mais sans perdre connaissance, pas de symptômes au début, mais par la suite, bon je n'ai pas eu de vomissements rien ni mal de tête, mais des problèmes de m'mémoires équilibre et sensibilité au bruit et à la lumière, le médecin me dit s'est pas grave, cela à juste saigné entre la peau du crane, le cerveaux rien, est ce des troubles cognitifs, bien que cela semble déjà bien guérit il y a des symptômes tout de même mais léger, est ce normal que cela va si long, parfois des picotements dans les joues, au début s'étais les jambes qui n'avaient pas de force, aujourd'hui s'est pas cent pour cent mais presque, manque de rapidité, j'ai parfois envie de jurer, ce que je ne fesais pas avant, encore merci.

That is one rugged lass.

Getting it onto my shoulders is easy enough but I do have some trouble balancing it during that move. The back end usually hits the ground before I am able to get it balanced. Just need more practice I suppose.

Don't spend the first twenty years of your adult life framing houses or pouring concrete foundations.

When teaching, the issue beginners generally face is which arm goes across to the far side. Also they need to know to bend their knees to lower their centre of gravity, and to engage their abs to stabilize their lower back and core when accelerating the dead weight skyward. (As a CAMPT designation holder, I am astounded you didn’t incorporate back safety into your how to video.). You raise the hull to inverted after rocking then slip your base of support under; you don’t bring the boat (thwart or yoke) to your shoulders, you bring your shoulders to the thwart; you slip under it you don’t muscle it over top of your head… there’s an optical illusion since your frame of reference is static from the fixed video camera position. You sneak underneath of the flipped over hull then extend (straighten) your legs shoulder width apart. These are the bio mechanics of how and why the methodology functions as it does. Not going with the flow of the forces can lead to sprains and strains. Learn with two spotters in place. It depends on 1) which direction of travel you intend to head towards 2) whether you are on the port or starboard side of the boat lying on the ground.

What is shoulder impingement? How is it caused?

Hahaha With a $5000 dollar 35 pound canoe. Now let's see a 70 or 90 pounder😅

Wow, I want to go canoe camping with you!!

For heavier canoes and older canoeists, do the same motion but farther towards one end while opposite end is resting on the ground and then walk it back onto your shoulders , This way you don't have to lift the entire weight of the canoe.

I have used your technique until I switched to this method due to age and lots of little injuries. Great little demonstration though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXnSqoeXd5qeobc

Lol she fire

I recommend a Kevlar canoe

Or just pay someone else to carry it for you.

I love this woman.

Very well demonstrated - good technique. Thanks

I could do that I'm 65 years old and just had a stroke and I could do that of course I make cedar strip canoes.

I have pain in the left middle of my knee from a snowboarding accident 6 months ago. Does the pain go away permanently or would I need therapy or surgery?

Bet you wouldn't do it as easily with an 'iron horse' 30+ Kg's canoe...plus 'back country' you've no air bags etc in there, and shoes would be a good idea...it's flawed with holes. If your teaching 'best practice' you have to do 'best practice'

try that with my old town discovry....no thanks to heavy

Ce qui me fait mal dans sa ait qu on peut meme pas dormir sa me fatigue tro

I used to easily lift my previous 16-ft 72-lb prospector using that technique but it became too heavy so I got a 42-lb Swift Keewaydin 16. However, I got the detachable yoke and didn’t realize that I wouldn’t be able to use this technique anymore because the yoke thread could break if I lift the canoe using the yoke. It’s disappointing but at least I can use the other technique with one end on the ground to start with.

Very nice. Gonna try. 👍

Thanks for making a simple video. You sure are in great shape!

So beautiful 😘

BOSS.

We were only 12 and 13 years old and we carried cedar and canvass canoes in Algonquin Provincial Park. Thus was in 1970. Back then the canoes weighed 60 to 80 lbs depending on how much water they had soaked up. Average was about 70lbs,. Very hard on your neck!!! We had leather tumps that distributed the weight on to our head. That helped balance it too. It was more art than strength to get the canoe up on your shoulders. Then it was how much PAIN could you endure on really long, or steep or slippery portages. The one between Canoe Lake and Smoke lake was straight up a mountain!!

WOW, at 60 years old and being "only" a software programmer,I fear that even if I got that motion to go absolutely perfect, my back and shoulders would be totally out of whack regardless. I will stay on flat terrain where I can use WHEEL trailers for the canoe. But it is interesting to see that SOME people CAN do that motion. Congratulations, Amy!

Nice clear demo & technique, but just one question, anyway to get the doggo to help out? 6 paws are better than just 2! 🤪🐶

"Not evr one is as strong as you "honey."

Hey, keep at the work. You will enjoy this channel 👉 #drjohnaking. I find him instructional and practical.

This is lovely...but what about an 81 lb canoe with no thwarts or yoke? I use a dolly, and it's about getting it on and off the vehicle by myself. I have a system, but am liking to see if I can do it better.

this girl looks strong

Only problem is you will get wet legs when the canoe is wet.

Bare feet. You drop that thing what could go wrong.

Fantastic! The only thing I have to get now is a canoe. 🙂

That's exactly what I do I get my wife to do it.

Looks easy enough. But to be fair, she looks in shape enough to dead lift a Volkswagen.
