: Way to go John!! You've got them thinking.

: When John mentioned that he was going to post the Yak-Yoke on the board I
: said "go for it because by the time Mick et. al. were done with it we
: may very well have a kayak yoke that will walk behind you by itself across
: the portages". Now that Mick and the other brainiacs are on the
: job......to infinity and beyond!!

: Some thoughts that I had were: -Increasing the height of the spacers above
: the shoulders may make it easier to see, especially if the trail was
: steep.
: -If you cockpit is not in the centre of your kayak(like with the Shearwater
: Baidarka I am building)this system may not work at all.

: Happy Portaging!

hi again Ken
I was going to build something like this out of ash that can be folded up an stashed in a hatch and shoved up near the end where nothing else fits or maybe stashed behind the seat when folded in a "Z" pattern, it will be a while before I build it, I have a few hundred bd ft of black ash and about 40 bd ft of birch to pick up (hopefully today if weather permits) it is supposed to be seasoned but it will still be put up in the rafters of the gararage with the heat on and a fan and dehumidifier going for a while.
My drawing isn't the best but I understand it

Later
