anyone have a cool design /idea for a kayak portage yoke? i’m visiting my dad at lake norman nc, he lives in a condo thats about 1/4 mile from the lake. i’m portaging a 45 lb boat and gear, paddle, cooler, etc totalling maybe 55-60 lbs. i improvised a ‘yoke’ using a 24" piece of pvc , some foam and duct tape. it works ok but i wonder if anyone has a better idea. ?

I have one of those and don’t like it.
The strap is hard on the neck and trapezious muscle.
