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

Topic: Z-Drag Attachments

As a novice boater I've been doing a lot of homework on z-drag techniques. Then, pulling on a boat with a z-drag, there is a lot of emphasis on dispersing the tension across multiple d-rings to not pop one off. No one mentions attaching the ropes directly to the raft frame. Why would this be a bad idea, or is it?

Topic: Amazon Seat Update?

Zach, you mentioned you bought the Amazon tractor seat as a potential NRS replacement. Have you used it and do you have any feedback on it?

Topic: Transportation Hitch

The transportation hitch then pulling a vector creates far more mechanical advantage than a z-drag, and much simpler.
