I can't find it at this time of night but some years ago I got a book "beyond the paddle".the theme was that in Maine they run down long rocky rivers using a pole.portages out that way are long and rail carts are used in places. the guy who wrote the book said they could tell the "Minnesota Gang" at canoe meets because they has short canoes with portage yokes and big Duluth packs.

That's Garrett Conover's book. As a Minnesotan who's done quite a bit of paddling in Maine, the line you reference is my favorite in the book!

That is some tricky balancing. I can kneel in my kayak, but certainly tumble if I stand.
