>>112441I don't know what that picture is supposed to prove but the portage thing is arguable. I'll just give you that point even though I'm quite capable of throwing my 40lb kayak over my shoulder even with another 40lbs of gear in it. I'm also a big strong guy though so maybe you're right.
>>112443Bullshit, kayaks are absolutely more unstable, that's why you have to learn to roll.
This is just so wrong. In a canoe you sit high up in a seat. In a kayak you sit at or below the water line. By their very design the kayak is less top heavy. Now I'll give you that if you compare a very wide canoe with a very narrow beamed kayak that the canoe might be more stable. However, typical canoe vs typical kayak, the kayak is way more stable.
I can easily take everything I need in my kayak plus a little and I have spots for water bottles in between my legs and bought a dry bag hip belt thing that sort of looks like a fanny pack for my camera, keys, wallet, sunscreen, etc.... All of those things should be in dry bags regardless so they aren't any easier to get to in a canoe and I already acknowledged that regarding simple hauling capacity a canoe wins. How much stuff do you bring? You sound like a car camper.
>Yes, canoe's are slower and more prone to the windyeah that's all I was saying to the shit poster that chimed with "kayaks suck".
> but can you stand up and fish in a kayak?yes
>Can you take two or three girls along in your kayak with you? Can you haul 500 lbs. of gear?Haven't we already covered this. Just because you said it multiple ways does not mean that it's more than one thing.
I used to have an old town 14'6" canoe. It was real top of the line and I loved it. The best thing about it was being able to take someone with me. If you want to argue how awesome canoes are that's your best footing, you can take someone.
If you need to take "500 lbs" of gear, lol what are you a fur trapper?
