Portaging presents challenges such as discomfort from heavy loads, limited visibility, and the need for adaptable gear in rugged terrain. Trek addresses these issues with innovative solutions. It features an adjustable harness for personalized comfort, reducing discomfort associated with heavy loads. The pivoting platform distributes canoe weight and allows users to adjust the tilt for optimal visibility, eliminating the need to hold the canoe while walking. A durable hard shell protects belongings, and a removable table provides a flat surface for camping. Trek is a comprehensive and adaptable portage system designed to enhance comfort, visibility, and functionality in rugged outdoor environments. Faculty: Faculty of Media, Creative Arts, and Design
