Proper Canoe Lifting Technique
The key to properly lifting your canoe is multi-faceted but easy. All you need to do is handle a canoe that reflects your ability to lift it and practise on the front lawn or some other grassy surface. If you are a body-builder, lifting an 85 lb. Old Town Tupperware Special will require exactly the same steps as those needed by a 98 lb. weakling to shoulder a 37 lb. Souris River Carbon Tec Quetico 16.
In any case, the term “no pain – no gain” does not have to apply to canoe lifting. Generally, avoiding pain through proper movement & a little bit of planning, is the preferred method.
