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

Topic: Cat Boat Flip Lines

Hey man, I was watching your last episode and heard you say you were struggling to find material for the cat flip line that would stay tight to the boat and yet stretch so you can stand up further when reflipping the boat. What if instead of finding different material you just tied a 2' long line or strap to the middle of the stretchy flip line making a T shape. This can be a pretty short strap or piece of rope that while yes it is dangling below the boat it is only 2' or so and isn't any more dangerous than the bungie line. This would allow you to keep the bungie tight and extend the reach when you are reflipping.

Topic: Difference in Oar holders

Can you tell me about the difference in control in technique between pins and clips, oar rights and spinnies? The raft and cat boats I bought have pins and clips so that is what I have been using for the past few years. Thanks. Love your show.

Topic: Bhutan

Hello Zach

I enjoy your show

Have you run Drangme Chu from the top? Is it really kinda 3+ 4-?

Just wanting to know what to expect in early December.
