Great primer on key equipment considerations for swift water. The least considered option for managing the gear is the bag attached to your harness. It’s a great option and it is useful for protecting gear even when not in swift water.
Such an epic intro with Joe swimming in through the current and getting out just in time before you give him the floor. Did you nail that on the first take?
Wish I could say yes. But alas, it took a couple tries to nail the timing.
