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

Topic: Seat Hack

Hey, I looked at this seat on Amazon and the bolt pattern is the same. There are a couple others in that $75 price. there are a couple more on amazon, but I did not look at the bolt patterns.

Also, I was thinking a good segment every now and again would be "raft hacks" - I know you can find stuff on mountain buzz, but it might be cool if something was at Costco or someone hacked some idea that is topical now?

Topic: Seat Hack

Looking to buy a new raft, trying to come in under $10K with frame and Sawyer oars.

I like the thought of the Aire being easier to repair and roll and store.

I saw your review from March 2018 regarding Aire, Sotar and Maravia rafts. You stated the Aire raft was "least flipable". I suspect that has to do with the regular floor pocket. What are your thoughts on putting a sealed floor pocket in the boat? More maneuverable but more likely to flip? Will the sealed floor be an advantage in low water on the Middle Fork?

Great videos, keep up the great work.Thank you and best regards.

Topic: Middle Fork Scouting

Hi Zach! Love the content! Headed out for mfs at the end of the month. First time for me but going with a group that is experienced. Although, they say we won’t get out to scout anything. Is that common? They said we would boat scout everything and they know it like that back of their hand. Trying not to be inconvenient to the group but are their any rapids I should insist we scout properly?
