00:33:17 Lynne Carpenter: It's the Clear Creek Shark! 00:47:53 Lynne Carpenter: Swiftwater rescue classes are a BLAST! So much fun. 00:49:15 Aaron Fletcher: I wonder how many of those people paddling class 4-5 and not having taken a swiftwater rescue course... Did they paddle their own craft? Or were paddling with more experienced people in those boats? 00:53:13 Lynne Carpenter: My rule of thumb - if you are not ready to get in the cold water before you launch (or not able to do that and then able to continue normally), then you should re-think your clothing and gear (and return another day to paddle). I've started getting into the water before I lunch to make sure my gear is appropriate. 01:10:55 Nisa Libbey: Can you wear fleece and a goretex or paddle jacket over a Farmer John? 01:16:04 Nisa Libbey: what is a good way to label your boat and paddle? 01:16:42 Aaron Fletcher: How would you recommend putting your contact information on an inflatable boat (kayak) specifically? 01:20:25 Lynne Carpenter: The Coast Guard gives free labels to put your name and address. But you can just sharpie it onto your boat. 01:20:46 Nisa Libbey: Thank you! 01:22:58 Lynne Carpenter: Here's the link for free stickers: http://wow.uscgaux.info/content.php?unit=054-23-01&category=operation-paddle-smart 01:30:25 Dennis Pennell: Scout the rapid, or walk the shore, but don’t do both at the same time. 01:34:30 Reilly Glore: head us the height of the obstacle 01:34:33 Lance M: Head refers to the water pressure generated from the top of the dam to the water level below the dam. 01:35:09 Monica Piguee: if you are inexperienced and you've stated that to the group, is it generally accepted that you will stay to the back of the group and follow the lead of more experienced paddlers? like when approaching the dam for instance? 01:35:45 Jim Burrell: Correct - low head basically means low pool depth upstream. 01:36:24 Lindsay Meeks: According to the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), "A low head dam is a manufactured structure, built in a river or stream channel, extending fully across the banks. A low head dam is designed and built such that water flows continuously over the crest from bank to bank. If water levels rise downstream, a submerged hydraulic jump can form which produces an upstream directed current that traps any recreationist who might go over the dam." 01:42:23 Dennis Pennell: If the water is deeper than knee level, don’t stand up at all 01:51:27 Sam Gregory: Thank you so very much for the presentation!..., I hope I can show this to my better half, once it becomes available to replay. 01:51:51 Gay Lynn Olsen: So well done! Thank you 01:51:58 Jim Burrell: Thank you very much! 01:52:02 Kim Greene: nice job!! 01:52:13 Aaron Fletcher: Does the Club (Poudre Paddlers specifically) plan to have a swift-water rescue class? 01:52:17 Peggy Mansfield: THANKS 01:52:34 Reilly Glore: what is the definition of class 3? i have been on rivers i call 3 and the guides call 4. 01:52:51 Henry Williams: Thank you Debbie, and Randy!! 01:52:58 Andy Robbins: Thank you 01:54:12 Dave Ney: Strong presentation!
