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

Topic: Alternative Raft Seat

Hi, Zach bought an alternative raft seat early in the season. I may have missed the review, but I was curious how it worked out?

Topic: Blaster Comparisons

You should do a video comparing blasters. First based off of their noise and then second how long they take to get x gallons to a boil. I feel that blasters are a necessary evil and pain point where all river runners would be willing to make improvements.

I mainly want to see what is going on with Partner Steel Extreme Water Heater. At almost double the price of their blaster I am curious if it is worth it. Can't find a single video of it in use either!

Also curious how the other cheaper blasters hold up on heating worthy amounts to a boil.
