This podcast is the audio version of the Gear Garage Live Show, where we answer submitted questions and talk all things whitewater.

Topic: Selway Low Water Boat Selection

Does your "bigger is better" advice for the Middle Fork Salmon also apply to Selway low-water trips? Is a 16 or 18 foot boat still ideal, or is the nature of the river different enough to change the advice?

Also, what is a general rule for the cut-off flow to switch out of rafts and into IKs and packrafts?

Love the show, and thanks for all the advice and entertainment!

Topic: Whitewater Helmets

Zach, I'm looking to buy a new helmet for rafting. Can you talk about a few hemlets that you have tried and what would be your top 3 recommendations?

Topic: Cat Frame

I was wondering if you had any recommendations for a day frame for my 12x22 cat, I am looking for something lightweight but durable that’s narrower than 68 inches.

Topic: SPORT LINES!!

Mayhaps you could add your take on a lingering question within the rank and file of the rafting community;

Sport Lines only count if you call them out beforehand correct?
