solopaddler Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Do what solopadler did,,,,,,get your buddy to carry it,,,,doh Lmao Billy is like the equivolent of 3 sherpas. He can carry the motor, the gas, and 80lb's of beer through dense bush for an hour. Good man, I like him a lot.
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 I got a chum like that as well. I carry the canoe, he carries everything else.
BillM Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Gotta earn your keep! Mike comes up with the great ideas, I follow with all the heavy stuff on my back No complaints! Although next time, I gotta stay hydrated.. I never want those leg cramps again.......ever.
SirCranksalot Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Or you could look for a smaller motor e.g. a 2 Hp at about 25 lb.
BillM Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Or you could look for a smaller motor e.g. a 2 Hp at about 25 lb. Small 2-stroke would be ideal. No gear case oil to deal with plus a lot lighter.
DRIFTER_016 Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Small 2-stroke would be ideal. No gear case oil to deal with plus a lot lighter. Like my little 4 horse.
solopaddler Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 matter of fact you can name them that and that way he won't be in shock when it comes time to fulfill his god given purpose. "Come here Canoe Dolly! Dolly come here, I've got something for you to carry! Hey I'm with you on that. I named my son Brendan which is an old gaelic word meaning "bearer of heavy loads" LOL! Like my little 4 horse. So when you realize you have no use for that thing up there can you stick it back into that giant action packer and ship it back to me? Please? I'd appreciate it, thank you.
BillM Posted March 9, 2012 Report Posted March 9, 2012 Dave, I've got room for that motor as well :whistling:

jim Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 This spring I'll be re-acquainting myself with the shield lakes of Ontario, having missed them longingly since moving to Nova Scotia a few years ago. The Chapleau camp where I and my fishing buddy will be staying has a few surrounding lakes where boats are kept, but we have to haul in a small outboard weighing around 45 lb. I've done this before a few times, but it was always a pain in the butt just grabbing and carrying the motor by the handle and the shaft--and I am not getting any younger. There must be a better way to carry the motor through the trails into portage lakes. Any suggestions? Some sort of backpack? A cart? Strapped to a pole carried by two? Hire a Sherpa? I hadn't been active in the board since moving away, but I've still been lurking around, and will post a report of the trip, which has been made possible in part by Mike and his exhaustive knowledge of fishing camps in ON. That man knows his stuff! Get an 18 yr. old to go with you!
Rizzo Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 ask Wayne to fly it in for you. I saw him holding a sign the other day "Will fly for food" (or maybe did it say beer?)
pics Posted March 10, 2012 Report Posted March 10, 2012 We had a 3.5 hp that had the gas tank built right in....an easy carry on the shoulder....any lake with a good trail is not one thats usually worth fishing...It's the ones with a trail a donkey wouldn't travel that produce the best fishing.....

I totally forgot about that. Here it is. The video clip is in Bill's response if you scroll down a bit. Freaking hilarious! http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33378&st=0&p=354389&hl=Back&fromsearch=1entry354389 The killer bush bash trip was this one: http://ontariofishingcommunity.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=45979&st=0&p=491425&hl=Chapleau&fromsearch=1entry491425
