Some of the Questions that Zach covered in the Q&A section of this episode

Topic: Used Boat Shopping

I've been a huge fan of your channel recently once I found it. Been boating for a little while now but just now getting into rafting with my wife. Would you mind sharing some resources for finding used rafts/catarafts and maybe how to best price them when listing or buying? Keep up the amazing work and I wish you all the best.

Topic: Saftey: Z-Drag release

Hi Zach, I was curious how you handle quickly disconnecting a rope from a raft after pulling it off a wrap? The scenario being that the boat starts down river and the carabiner can't be easily unclipped because it has some load on it and you can't just swing them to shore because of some feature in the way. Would you just cut the anchor webbing?

Topic: Ryobi compact workshop blower

Any idea if there an an adaptor for the Ryobi compact workshop blower? I have a few Ryobi tools and would love to buy this little blower with my existing battery packs.

Topic: Saftey: Topic: Chilcotin river slide.

Massive slide dries up river, big lake forming in BC.
