10 MISTAKES I’VE MADE PORTAGING A Canoe in the Boundary Waters

This video I share mistakes I have made portaging a canoe while canoe camping. I camp mostly in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota, but this video will be helpful for any canoeist or canoe camping person. Mistakes are inevidible and will hopefully not deter us from doing hard things. I have grown to love portaging, even difficult ones. Share your portaging tips in the comments!
I camp and hike in and around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I also guide Boundary Waters Retreats! In the Superior National Forest, in Northern Minnesota. And anywhere else I can venture to! I love sharing the journey with you all.

[@eschneider8799]

@@jodimiddendorf That was quick, how long is a rod?

[@jodimiddendorf]

@@eschneider8799 I believe it’s around 16 feet. About the length of an average canoe.

[@driftlesstrekker4709]

You're pronouncing portage wrong. It should rhyme with garage. 😀

[@jodimiddendorf]

Haha I was waiting for someone to comment this. 😂 but nah. I think I say it fine.

[@jodimiddendorf]

I don’t mean to sound harsh in any way. This is a a lighthearted comment. I appreciate you letting everyone know the correct French-ish pronunciation.

[@driftlesstrekker4709]

@@jodimiddendorf That's how I intended it and took your reply. Hence the smiley emoji's. I enjoy your videos and appreciate all your efforts to educate "aboot" the B-Dub.

[@prospector7409]

It seems that most Canadians pronounce it portage (rhyming with garage), while Americans pronounce it as she does. Either is correct…just like my wife says tomotoe and I say tomato….ironically, she agrees with my pronunciation of potato. Nice video Jodi. :-)

[@jodimiddendorf]

Just wait until y’all hear me pronounce hammock 😂
