Thanks, I'm just getting into this sport and videos like yours are really helpful. Cheers from Alberta.

Very good!

This is great that you've clearly learned some lessons and taken safety more seriously (I haven't watched any of your older videos so I don't know what you were taking before). As a professional river guide for over 10 years, I think I can see even more room for improvement. Simple things, but things that can save your life. I don't want to put it all publicly on a youtube comment section (it doesn't feel the right place) but I'd be really happy to share with you a few things I've been taught and a few things I've learned the hard way so you don't have to.

Thanks for sharing all your experience and thoughts, it does help.

Thanks for sharing good tips.

Btw, if you’re ever in Scotland it’d be great to paddle sometime 👍

Good job and kittos:)

Glad you got some safety gear. In English the plural of gear (in this context) is "gear", not "gears." Sorry, our language doesn't make sense :). If the tension is right on the draw cord at on your throw bag, you can just pull the loop threw without needing to open the bag all the way. That will make sure that rope doesn't come out of the bag before you throw, which will give a better toss. Also, nice diaper harness (that's what I call them, but they work.)

What’s the pulley for?

Good stuff!

Here is what i wrote to my blog:

So how did that Anfibio Throw Bag (seems to be a or similar to their LifeLine+) perform in the two years that have passed? Is it good and precisely to throw? Quick and easy to refill in case you missed and have to throw again? And what length does the rope have in your version (they now offer 13, 15 or 20 meters)? Would you opt for the same product again?

I did find this video about water knot, which is usually used with the webbing. So you can make your own decide, which knot you make. I don't know a shit about these.

I hope you got some good training and improved your knowledge and skills. Packrafting is awesome but the simplicity of the packraft does allow the progression from beginner to very serious water to happen very quickly. Unfortunately the foreshortened zero to hero journey time also removes the time where most paddlers make simple mistakes in simple environments and progress as they go. Simple principles, such as clean lines (no knots) etc, are fundamental to safe travel on the river. The odd thing about river safety is that we often need to do the opposite of what our gut tells us, like clipping or tying into a rope that has a loop tied in the other end. This has led to the paddling journey being cut even shorter far too many times

Are you kind

You should have a locking carabiner on your throwbag. It gives weight to your throw and allows the person being rescued to attach the rope to their pdf.
