Topic: Illinois IK
How low has the Illinois been run to your knowledge? I know Cronin and friends run it in the summer time but would like to get an idea of the CFS they/others have paddled. Is it still considered a 4+ river when the water is super low?
Also, have you ever done the Deer Creek to Illinois section? Looks interesting.
Thanks love the show.
Topic: Boat Decals
Rando question. What material do you guys use for the letters on your boat names to get them to stick so well?
I wanted to add a name to our site raft and the best I could think of is a vinyl cut letters but don’t know how well they will stay on.
Thank you for the info
Topic: PFD Help
Hi - I'm hoping you can help me choose a life jacket. I do mostly class III-IV rivers, and occasionally a IV+ or V rapid. Because I'm not a great swimmer and because I have Parkinson's, I'd like a life jacket better than what guides typically provide. Should I buy a Type 1, Type 5, or something else?
