Tumplines, Wannigans and Canoes, three things that just belong together. In this video we explore a range of techniques for rigging a tumpline to your wannigan. As a bonus, we add a little bit of coaching for how to carry the load on the portage.

Awesome David. Great information. Just what I wanted to hear regarding tunes and awkward back boxes. Great job. Gonna share this around. Take care

Some padding on the side where the box touches your back and shoulders seems likely to be a useful idea?

An interesting idea that I haven't pursued....yet. For the most part I've not had discomfort from the wannigan itself. Learning the posture and tump placement to align your spine is where I've found the immediate payback.

I feel like the wannigan is perfectly suited for trekking toboggans and less so for canoeing 😁

For whitewater I tend to agree. But for lake trips, or Canadian Shield country, it's pretty nice to have around. Each of my wannigans has the feet placed to perfectly mesh between the curl on the toboggan and the first cross bar.

Good information. The final knot at 8:14 is a square or reef knot; not an overhand knot.

You are correct. When filming this I caught myself and made a mental note to put a textbox onscreen during editing. But, that never happened. Thanks for watching!
