CLASSIC ALGONQUIN CANOE TRIP - DAY 5 - BIG PORTAGE! (4K)

[@ChrisProuse]

Julia and I wanted to say thanks to everyone who followed along with us on the trip, for your thumbs-up, and all the kind words and heartfelt messages we received along the way - we read them all and they mean a lot to us! We’ll also be returning to Algonquin in 2017 with new routes! In the meantime, if you’d like to help support our little channel further, we’d really appreciate it if you could share the trip’s KZbin playlist with friends and family: kzbin.info/aero/PL--m1-kmw2WIj0jpOr66IN4jyJotER0TR Thanks again! :)

[@SumguyinTX]

Chris Prouse always happy to support your vids! I love them, I think I have my wife convinced to do an Algonquin trip next summer because of your videos.

[@ChrisProuse]

Pat Myott So glad to hear Pat! Highly recommend a trip in early May (before the bugs hit in Algonquin), or from mid-August onwards when the bugs are gone and swimming's great :)

[@supercharged3368]

Chris Prouse keep up the awesome vlogs ladies, we love seeing Algonquin when we're not there! 😀

[@chrisstratton4241]

CP, That lake is literally God's journeywork. Blown away by your trip. So beautiful. thanks for the vid and share.

[@FudgethisPoopoo]

Oh the peacefulness!!! I have just a few more months of the ear numbing horns, voices, ringing cell phones, emergency vehicles, and funerals (yes, funerals) that surround me here in China, and then it is home again... Ontario, I love you! Thank you for the beauty!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks for watching! Hope all's well, and travel safely! :)

[@andreawunderlich7130]

I love this series and will check out more of your videos. What a beautiful place. I'm heading there for the first time in a few weeks and shared your series with others that will join. :)

[@GreenAppel107]

I really appreciate your way of capturing your camping trip. Your shots realy captures the peacefulness of the place. Thank you for sharing!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Green! Glad to hear :)

[@warden082]

Always an adventure following Chris and Julia on their Algonquin expeditions. Thanks for putting together such awesome vlogs. Now time for some epic skiing vids!!!??? :)

[@warden082]

oh and I am coining a new term GOL...."Groan Out Loud".....in reference to the "stumped" pun.

[@ChrisProuse]

We've got some epic skiing-related content coming up in a few weeks, though with an interesting spin! :)

[@sebastianjimenez2211]

I live vicariously through your camping videos.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@TAFla.]

Fantastic. you lady's are the best. thank you for sharing such wonderful trip, absolutely gorgeous. I have a 16 foot fiberglass canoe, it takes two to carry it. ( '70"s fiberglass, very heavy, but built like a tank.) and I play around the lakes, rivers and canals of central Florida and the inter-coastal waterway around Melbourne Fl. but nothing compares to where you lady's are at. Thanks again for the great video. keep 'em coming.

[@ChrisProuse]

Cool! Thanks so much for watching! More coming soon :)

[@WaldoVonErich3]

Truly awesome videography and editing. Well paced with the music. I for one. enjoy to get away from shoveling the snow out of the driveway and watching one of your trips. Looking forward to next year!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Waldo! Glad to hear :)

[@aaronallred6559]

Was anybody else sad to see the shop at the end cause you knew the trip was over? :( Love the videos! This series has my favorite video of the day in the Rain and you two cuddling up on a hammock under a tarp. So peaceful. Thank you a ton Chris! ^_^

[@ChrisProuse]

Aww! Thanks so much for watching Aaron! Hope you are well :)

[@douglaslosey6501]

Thanks for the new video! Your videos are put together so well I never tire from watching them...

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Douglas! We'll be back to Algonquin in 2017 with new routes! :)

[@AGKRex]

First, I wanted to say thank you so much for sharing this. This place looks absolutely amazing and you two are just "the best". Second, I just wanted to say thank you for saying portage correctly. I recently watched a similar series on some American guys going on a week long fishing/paddling trip in the Adirondacks and every time they said portage, "Port-Age" my left eye blinked. Third, It's the dead of winter here (3 more days till the sun start coming back!), we've seen -30 C (without the wind chill), and boy did these videos make me miss being out on a lake/river paddling in the sun. I think this is what I needed to see to encourage me to make the move to overnighting with the kayaks. Thank you so much for that!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Andrew! Haha, feel the same way every time I hear it pronounced that way too! Glad to hear - you should go for it :)

[@billhardwick536]

You girls are awesome! I have been camping in Algonquin almost every year for over 65 years but haven't done many canoe trips ( more hiking & cycling). Watching your videos makes me want to get out & do some tripping again.

[@1lumberjack333]

Kudos to Julia on the Bow paddling, impressive! And great work on putting it all together Chris! I'm just finishing the whole 5 day series, pulled me right in!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks for watching! Glad to hear! :)

[@derekbaker3748]

Another great trip done! Great job Chris & Julia, can't wait for the next one!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Derek! :)

[@Mr734mb]

Love the smooth jazz that started at around 8:25.

[@Wordsnwood]

Back in '89 I did this portage on the first day of the first trip I'd ever taken in Algonquin. Four college grads, only one had ever done any backcountry camping. It was nuts. (we did almost the same route as you did, but the other way around. Only difference was we went up to Misty lake, and then down the Petawawa river to get to white trout lake, which I remember was great fun.) I've watched several of your Algonquin videos now and I'm impressed at how you two do single carry portages. I've almost never managed that. I've seen how you have a gear video, (which I only skimmed through, sorry, but it was reaalllly long) but I don't think you've shown how you pack your stuff? Thanks for sharing

[@dbtsystem]

Omg, such a beautiful landscape. Thanks Chris & Julia for this lovely trip. I like your editing style, keep it up! Hiking with a canoe looks really funny :)

[@ChrisProuse]

Hey DBT Sruh!! I didn't know you watched! Love your channel, and have been enjoying your GoPro edits for years! Awesome edits! :)

[@dbtsystem]

Chris Prouse Thanks a lot Chris! For sure i watch your videos, because i love great and interesting content. Best regards from Switzerland Sruh

[@gunnare.7988]

Just stumbled over your channel, having a big smile in my face. I am into outdoors, following some channels. Yours is the first one where the music doesn´t bother me but where I like it. Credits for that! But the best: I have been watching quiet some videos from Joe Robinet. Doing so many portages. The kilometers...single...double carry...big deal! And you two: just doing it, no complaints, just having fun...great!

[@paddleway6081]

Another great adventure comes to an end but looking forward to more, thanks for sharing

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Paddleway! :)

[@truenorth365]

The goal is nothing, the journey is everything! Great video-series Chris, you really managed to capture the essence of your canoe-trip. Good times! (thumbs up)

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Magnus! So true :)

[@greggm7056]

I've been researching Algonquin for my first ever canoe trip this Sept. The "classic" looks like a good start, thank you! I've seen several video's from guys and noticed they do a lot of whining about the physical exertion but not a single complaint from you two, you make it look easy. Love the photography!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Greg! Haha, love your comment :)

[@LarryHyett]

Amazing series Chris. Great footage, editing, music pulled together that captures the feel of Algonquin and how much fun you guys have out there.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks so much Larry! Looking forward to being back in the park next year! :)

[@zettle2345]

What you were talking about with pushing yourself... I used to ride a bike as a kid, a lot, and thought riding again after my divorce would be fun. I was so proud of myself the first time I was able to ride for 7 miles on the bike way by my Mom's house, then I realized I had to ride 7 more miles to get back to her house ;-( I had to laugh, but it's a great memory, and reminder that I can do what I want to if I stick with it, and keep trying to be better than I am today. Great video, Thanks

[@MrSnmpsniffer]

That looks so beautiful!!!!!! Thank you both so much for sharing. I look forward to these almost as much as I do actually getting out in the woods myself. Can't wait to see next years trip! Hopefully I will make it up there myself!! Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Sean! You should go for it! :)

[@Angrywelder]

Always happy to support your channel. I will make sure my buddy Joe Robinet see the single carry from this video. You two have really made him look bad. Thanks for the videos, I can't wait to see the next trip.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks so much AW! :)

[@tombeckett4340]

Thanks just another great trip cheers 🇨🇦👍

[@MikeKrulikoski]

Awesome trip, you two are adorable 😊

[@KevinOutdoors]

Beautiful scenery. Thanks for bringing me along.

[@candlesbyvictoria]

New sub, I have been binge watching your videos, ya'll are the cutest couple and your video skills are insane, I am enjoying all the videos so much. Keep up the great work!

[@mountainsnmoore256]

Another nice video, Chris. Really enjoy your editing. I have introduced several of my friends to your channel. There are several of us, across north Alabama, and over into North Carolina, that have fledgling KZbin channels and I have told several of them about your editing skills and how you two know your stuff when it comes to camping.

[@ChrisProuse]

Aww! Thanks so much Brad! :)

[@mountainsnmoore256]

Chris Prouse We are planning (& dreaming) of a trip to Algonquin in the Spring. I’ve told my canoe buddies to watch your channel to learn about what to expect.

[@lancechristy2595]

Thank you ... Merry Christmas and happy new year

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Lance! Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too! We've got a fun holiday vid coming up in a few days :)

[@lancechristy2595]

Chris Prouse I'll be keeping an eye out....

[@andihales3113]

Watching your videos with 4 feet of snow in my yard is getting me through this winter! Looking forward to this summer in the UP of Michigan and getting back in my kayak and camping! ❤️

[@anneperlmutter3187]

I loved this! Love watching your channel. I can't wait to see your next trip to Algonquin!!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks for watching Anne! :)

[@gaz781]

That's the way to do it! (2.3k portage) single carry all the way, no multi trips for gear, canoe and camera equipment. and no complaints either. I've watched a few vids from you guys and this is the first time you had ever (so far - you'll see which vids i've watched) mentioned distance walked or travelled. onya girls!

[@CH_DAVID_CH]

Everything is good and awesome!!! :) My little tip for future. When you see deer, big birds, bear, any animals, record them longer.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks David! :)

[@alexs.80]

I did this carry/portage with my Boy Scout troop back in 1999. Two middle aged adults and four of us 13 year olds carrying three boats, shared gear, and our own packs. It took us about 4 hours to get to Tom Tomson Lake (lots and lots of breaks!).

[@bentertainment6932]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing

[@sderby4297]

I love your videos, - awesome job on the portage!!!!!!!! But one point Tom Thomson was not part of the Group of Seven. People think he was because he painted with most of them and was instrumental in getting them out to Algonquin and areas but he drowned before the Group of Seven was actually formed. The Group formed in 1920 and Thomson drowned in 1917.

[@palmer021612]

Awesome video as always can't wait to see more in the near future thank you so much.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Marty! More fun stuff coming soon :)

[@nickdoornbosch]

Great videos! They're a good watch and well made. As irony would have it, I also just realized I saw you two on that long portage that day (Sept 1st-ish?). I also remember realizing I need to try and do them in one shot!! lol. You two rocked it!! Glad you had a good trip.

[@ChrisProuse]

Wow! That's so cool - I remember seeing you guys too! Glad to hear you found our channel and enjoyed the videos. Hope you had a great trip, and thanks for watching! :)

[@nickdoornbosch]

Yeah, pretty ironic that we saw you two there, and then I stumbled onto your video - life is always surprising. Had a great trip though, getting ready to plan our next one soon enough!! Cheers

[@brianspencer4220]

Hi Julia & Chris: Thanks for the beautiful adventure & I don't think the two of you will ever be stumped. Brian 76

[@ChrisProuse]

Haha, thanks Brian! :)

[@mattyb201]

Great video as always! You sure made that portage look easy

[@ChrisProuse]

Thank you! :)

[@CanuckHogmaster]

As always enjoyed your video, more great character building on the portage :-) !!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Harold! :)

[@BluezCinema]

whoa, an upload on my birthday?! I've been blessed by Chris and Julia 🤗 cheers from st. Catharines

[@ChrisProuse]

Happy Birthday!! :D

[@jrgenfriborg3508]

You did it ones more. Way to go. The park is like mid sweden. I live in Copenhagen and Will go to sweden on a Canoe trip like this one. Arond May 19. Nice video.

[@Clemilsonccs]

Wow!! This place is amazing. You make it all seem so easy. Abraços e obrigado por compartilharem seus vídeos. 🇧🇷

[@johnstantinoople]

Just wonderful.

[@dawn2949]

You're a new discovery for me - been watching the guys videos but enjoying some female perspective. Subscribed!

[@Marmanandfriends]

wish i had nice weather like that when i was at algonquin. the waters and terrain are rough! quite the challenge

[@jimhanson7476]

merry Christmas , thx for sharing your fun year..

[@ChrisProuse]

Merry Christmas Jim! :)

[@adriannefaris5026]

Love your videos. You rock!

[@kenchan5047]

Thanks for making us forget about winter . Last week was -27 , today +3 Celsius . Nice ending "THANKS FOR WATCHING ! JULIA & CHRIS WILL RETURN !" Cheque will be in the mail tomorrow for PARTNERS IN MISSION FOOD BANK . Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year . ATB Ken .

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks so much Ken!! That's very generous of you, and it means a lot to us! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too! :)

[@debogrylls5880]

i just subscribed. and you both have some pretty cools videos. I love the outdoors as well.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Devan! Glad to hear! :)

[@simeonshanebushcraft]

I luv your algonquin vid's very cool from start to finish. I gotta say when Julia asked u to 'smell her wood because it smells like home deeps ? I literally fell out of my chair, dying man. You guys are great. Thanks for the adventure, cheers Chris.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks so much for watching Simon! That's one of my favourite parts too! We'll be back filming more trips in Algonquin Park this year :)

[@farmontearei2760]

chris your videos are so awesome

[@QDCrafts]

Hi Chris, just wondering if you were able to get one of those 2017 Parks Canada passes. I heard all the parks will have free admission next year and I'm excited to explore!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks for reminding us! I think we'll apply for one soon! :)

[@tombeckett4340]

Just wondering if you guys always rent your boats ? Thanks nice trip. Cheers 🇨🇦👍

[@mikeburns9151]

nice vids............have to comment on your barrel in the canoe........always lay them down. I have one also and they do fit in between the gunnels. Good practice to keep center of gravity low in a canoe. Thanks.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Mike! Agree with you on keeping the centre of gravity low, though all the heavy stuff's already at the bottom of the barrel, and the other heavier pack lays flat in the bottom of the canoe, so it's offset quite a bit. We frequently open the food barrel on the water, so it's just more convenient, and I come from a competitive rowing background where the racing shells are far more tippy :)

[@davidwoodward7020]

nice vids chris,looks an amazing trip..your canoe looks so light,is it just fibre glass or roven woven mat?....like kevlar,stronger than fibre glass but lighter

[@axerxes3981]

Where did you get that cool coffee maker... filter... press thing??? That's so cool. I do some solo backpacking and that looks so neat.... Terrific videos, nicely filmed.... Best wishes.... Ax

[@neillsmart213]

You guys are awesome. Thanks to Joe Robinet for mentioning you (Alaska into)! New Zealand ain't got noting like this ..... mind blowing :)

[@nickdoornbosch]

Sweet videos, well made and good content. Having watched this one just now, I am also feeling very confident I saw you on the portage that day about mid-way across. I don't have the dates on hand, but wasn't that right around Sept 1st 2016? Anyways, looks like you had a great time - keep paddlin and smilin!!

[@AtlanteanBlue2012]

Chris, What time of year was this trip? The Weather looks perfect..Planning to take this route sometime around August/September, 2021..Awesome videos!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thank you! I believe this trip was at the end of August - hope you have a great trip! :)

[@fireyourrocketts]

Seems like lots of fun but saw some struggling while portaging, how much is the total weight between the canoe and the backpack? I just got me ordered a Hornbeck canoe that weights 18 pound, about 20 with the yoke and i am wondering if it would not be too heavy portaging with it and a 30 pound average pack! Point for me would be to enjoy the trip not be miserable with the weight right?

[@MOOSEHEADstadia2024]

It looks like you do a lot of late summer/early fall excursions. Insects and flies were the bane of my existence when ever I did July portages in Algonquin. And I'm not a huge lover of deet!!

[@mertherian9265]

Cool as ice!

[@Marc-xk1rb]

awesome series!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Mac! :)

[@Marc-xk1rb]

No thank you, I never knew of Algonquin til I saw your channel!

[@joeszabo7618]

This video kinda hurts on my morning dog walk a couple of days ago it was minus 17 with a wind chill of minus 25 . Great video per usual .

[@ChrisProuse]

Haha, thanks Joe! :)

[@shanewatters9251]

My three year old daughter and i love watching your videos together. Have you ever thought of going tripping in the Adirondacks? Ive never been to Algonquin and I'm wondering how they compare.

[@ChrisProuse]

That's so cool Shane! Please tell your daughter that Julia and I say hi! We actually went for a weekend trip in the Adirondacks near the end of October - we had a great time and did a little hiking / paddling around Lake Placid, though we stayed at a B&B, so we didn't get the full camping experience. The White Pines and mountainous terrain made it feel like a mix between Algonquin Park and the Mont Tremblant area to us, which was great :)

[@shanewatters9251]

Thanks for the reply. i also want to thank the both of you for being great roll models, i like showing my daughter videos of women and girls who counter some of the not so good roll models featured in mass media. We look forward to future videos.

[@theoutdoorangler1173]

So it's an older vid but it popped up in recommended. I did my first 1 week trip last month. Isn't that big portage with the big staircase coming from Ink Lake. You have to roam around a long marsh river then the small Ink lake correct?

[@TheCompknack]

Great Vids ..................

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Allan! :)

[@covewatcher]

Hi Chris, awesome videos. By the way, I believe (based on what I have learned growing up in the Adirondacks) that the bird Julie was asking about was a blue heron. Just my guess.

[@My17A]

Great Video and editing Chris and Julia. Might have missed it earlier, but did you say at what time of year this is? Does not seem to be any bugs. I went on a solo trip in Algonquin a couple years ago in June and had to abort it after two days as I was being eaten alive.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thank you! Yikes - you're brave for camping there in June! This trip was towards the end of September, so we only saw a few bugs. We also like to camp there early May :)

[@NuttyDaveMadeThis]

No mention of bugs ... What time of year was this?

[@MOOSEHEADstadia2024]

Single-handed carry! Show-off!! LOL.

[@hikingff77]

Chris, as usual another amazing video. My family and I will be visiting Algonquin this summer on a family road trip in the old truckster. do you have any places that are can't miss? Thanks in advance!

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Steve! Glad to hear - for interior camping in the south end of the park, Phipps Lake and Lake Louisa are our favs... Big Trout and Lake La Muir are our favourite towards the centre... and I have a soft spot for Tom Thomson Lake if you only want to do a day's worth of trekking into the park. Friends of ours really enjoy car camping at the Lake of Two Rivers campground, and I've heard good things about the Algonquin Park Visitors Centre. For a day trip, lunch and an afternoon canoe or kayak paddle rental at Canoe Lake would be a nice family outing too. Also, I've heard there are some great lookouts on a few of the trails along the highway that I have yet to check out :)

[@hikingff77]

Thank you very much Chris. I will take these into account and research them. From your videos it does not appear that there's a bad spot in the place. Thanks again

[@womynofthewoodsadventures]

Awesome videos ladies, my one criticism is the lack of wearing a PFD, yes I'm sure you are both excellent swimmers with doing triathlons but accidents can and do happen, having you wear a PFD while on the water would promote a positive message to your viewers. Keep up the great trip videos.

[@avisliberis]

Chris, this is such a cool video! one question: for the opening sequence, did you edit first, then find the music or vice versa?

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Temur! I usually go through all the content and put together a string-out in the editing timeline of all the usable / preferred content I'd like to consider, to get a better sense of what's possible. Then I go looking for music that suits the direction / vibe I'd like to take the video in, and then edit in tune with the music's energy :)

[@avisliberis]

Chris Prouse love the strategy! I've been kind of following the same technique, but have way had time with music. Editing is no easy task 😔

[@ChrisProuse]

Just keep trying! The hardest part for me is knowing that I have a beautiful 10, 15, 20 second shot that I'd love to show more of, and required a lot of effort to capture... but the energy / pacing in the music needs to move onto the next shot after only 1 or 2 seconds! It's really tough cutting those shots short, but I've learned to pay more attention to edit's overall pacing and energy :)

[@charleshoffman4925]

Great video! I'm planning a trip to Algonquin and I've heard you mention that you don't get any cell reception in the park. Do you think it's necessary to have something that allows for emergency communication with the outside world? If so, what do you recommend?

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Charles! It's a personal safety decision that I really can't make for someone else, just because there are so many variables to consider. We canoe tripped in the park for several years without one, or much incident... but we have one now and it does provide some nice piece of mind. If price is a concern, there are options like the McMurdo Fastfind PLB (the one we carry) that have good reviews and don't require a service plan... though it doesn't support two-way communications during non-emergencies to stay in touch with friends and family like some of the more expensive options do with plans. There are also some cheaper options out there that use different types of comm satellite networks on plans (with terrible reviews)... so if you do decide to get something, I'd recommend starting with at least the Fastfind. Keep in mind, you'll likely want to take a little time before the trip to register a beacon with Search & Rescue, just so they know who they're looking for and any pertinent medical details. Hope this helps! :)

[@behzaddanaei3070]

Hi Chris, What time of the year did you go on this trip?

[@Ecripter1]

Im looking to plan my first portaging trip this August at Algonquin Park. Do you have any tips for a beginner?

[@ramiabdalla9825]

Hi Chris, questioin (?) I'm coming up from Toronto and looking for a 2 night backcountry first solo trip.. Can you recommend anything? What lakes possibly... I saw in one of your many videos camping on an island and that looked amazing. Great vidz by the way.

[@douglasbussard3459]

Awesome.

[@mark7737]

ahh Ink Lake to Tom Thomson, plus metal canoes... the memories

[@crisswolff]

Nicely done

[@wenb]

how were the insects out there?

[@DavidBigandt]

1.4 miles carrying a canoe alone non stop! The new Princess Leia. Like the editing to the beat.

[@Shelbyproductions]

how heavy was that canoe

[@ChrisProuse]

I believe Swift's kevlar ultralight is about 43 pounds :)

[@algonquinken]

Awesome trip loop and video!!! Speaking of Tom Thomson (my idol), and his murder, you have to read the book called "Northern Light" by Roy McGregor.

[@jameshauert3217]

what is you coffee device? BTW you two are pretty awesome

[@martinoutdoors6941]

Hi C&J the track at the end of this video is it available to download, can't find it on Shazam or iTunes please.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks for watching Martin! I believe the track is from EpidemicSound (dot) com, who license music for videos, so I'm not sure if it would be on iTunes unfortunately.

[@mikelyons3117]

Love you gals and love Algonquin

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks Mike! :)

[@evank9993]

My boy scout troop went on the canoe trip and it took us about 4 hours to get all 15 canoes across and it was terrible

[@aidangalbraith1904]

Is this McIntosh to Tom Thomson lake

[@braydenuttley6501]

It's unfair to post these kind of videos when there's snow on the ground. My last trip was in Killarney from nov 10-13 and we were breaking ice with the canoe. This just reminds me of the months of winter sports I'll need to endure before I can get back on the water lol. Keep the videos coming.

[@ChrisProuse]

Thanks for watching Brayden! We're currently trying to line up some winter camping :)

[@nathanjones229]

I went on the same portage!!!

[@ChrisProuse]

Cool! It's a good one! :)

[@iseeyou8219]

Please look up the West Coast Trail in BC,Canada You guys would love it! i definitely recommend hiking that trail !

[@ChrisProuse]

Cool! Would love to hike it! Gotta make it out West again sometime :)

[@nathanjones229]

it took us (three people) 3 hours to do that portage.

[@ChrisProuse]

That's good - you're out there, which is what really counts! Each time you do it, you get a little bit faster :)

[@haleyboller9463]

I really really really reaally want to do a portage this summer but I dont think i am strong enough :(
