Draggage
Posted by: ppine on Dec-10-12 12:03 PM (EST)

I have dragged boats over beaver dams that are made of wood and organic debris, but really don't drag loaded boats hardly at all. Lining is a much better option, or portaging when required.

Aluminum boats are affected the least, but all other boats can be damaged by the abrasion of dragging. It is a poor practice.
