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

Topic: Various Topics

I have 3 different non related questions.
-Dry box vs dry bag
- What is your take on drytops for rafting
-Super Puma vs Hyside Max 12

Topic: Old Wing Raft

I just got a 24 year old Wing 14" raft that was sitting in a loft for a long time it was rolled up for years with vary few river days on it . It was built in 1997 and the serial # is not in the archives at wing inflatables . The Boat looks good but I am worried about if the fabric was compromised with age and whether I should be concerned . The material feels like urethane fabric stiff and holds air well overnight. Should I be concerned running class 3-4 mostly Rogue and easy rivers? How are your older Wing boats holding up?

Topic: Dry Suit

Do you have a preference between Kokatat’s one-piece drysuits and their separates? I do a little fly fishing, too. So I’m wondering if the versatility of the separates would be beneficial.
