    Not many people talk about this. Thank you for making this video.

    Awesome Rich! Can't wait to see some more videos on this SWR subject! Cheers!

    Rich, just making sure you're aware that the portions of the video that are filmed onsite (at the water's edge) have sound from only one speaker. The voice-overs are in stereo, but those other parts are not. I've noticed that in a few of your videos. Not sure if it's a setting on my end or perhaps a setting on your camera or something. Just letting you know.

      Thank you. Discovered too late that I had a faulty 3.5mm jack. Everything I recorded with that jack failed to record in both channels. Just not possible to go back and re-record everything.

      Ah, got it. Still great content. Thanks for all the time spent preparing the videos. I recently edited a short video for the scouts' Moviemaking Merit Badge, and it took me FOREVER. I gained a new appreciation for all you guys putting out videos on a regular basis.

      I still have much to learn, but really enjoy making the videos. Recently switched from iMovie to Final Cut Pro X. That made a big difference. FCP has so many more tools. In the short run, that means more things to learn, but in the long run well worth the effort.

    Awesome! What kind of bag is he using to put his gear in around his hip/waist?

    Training but no certification courses? Save your money for a course that provides certification.

      No idea what you mean by this comment. Did watching this video cost you some money somehow? Or are you referring to some other training? If that is the case, you need to clarify. Joe offers instruction through entities that DO provide swiftwater certification. He also offers instruction for those who are only interested in acquiring valuable skills without a need for certification.

    Lost me when you showed a mountain climbing gear belt and tried to be funny, or showed your ignorance.

      The harnesses in the video are canyoning harnesses, not mountain climbing gear belts. Joe is wearing the newer model Petzl Canyon. The purple one with the excessive amount of gear on it is the old model Petzl Canyon. Whether you appreciate my sense of humor or not, I hope the point was made - too much gear on the harness in swift water can be deadly.

      Rich, as a canyoneer, climber, and paddler you didn't lose me showing what was NOT a CLEAN lines principle. Clean lines in Swiftwater can save a life and while a clean organized harness in a climbing or dry canyoneering situation looks good and probably is a bit safer, it isn't an essential item. In a Swiftwater environment clean lines are an essential element of safety. Even very small loops can snag and cause and entrapment. Thanks for posting this video. Definitely hope to see more. I love this series.
