This style of portage yoke. It spreads the weight evenly over many times the surface area vs a jigsaw and round over bit yoke, and takes the weight off of your spine. Night and day difference...
I wonder if there's a schooling behavior aspect to it. They're less susceptible to predation if they all feed on the surface at the same time, and it's not exactly a survival advantage if the times are predictable.
