Master the canoe and learn about canoes and canoeing in this video on how to canoe for beginners.
In this video I share some of the skills and experience I've gained over the past 40 years as a canoe tripper and cedar strip canoe builder.
In this first part of the How to Canoe series, I provide information to answer two of the most frequently asked questions about canoes.
Is canoeing difficult? and
Do you need to kneel while canoeing?
From there I identify the basic parts of a canoe and give a demonstration of how to lift a canoe safely to carry or portage.
To make the viewing experience better, I've included time chapters for each topic. You can find these below.
