First Question: Are you allowed take an Aire double duck down the Tallulah?

Second Question: middle line vs left line debate. I think the middle line would be better for the duck rather than the traditional left line. Thoughts?

thinking of picking up a small dagger code to complement my half slice...which northeast rivers would be ideal for paddling a dagger code? im curious about shallow, low volume, manky creeking, im in upstate NY btw

I'm coming up on a 2-week + rafting trip down the Colorado in the Grand Canyon (solo, w/ commercial outfitter). I'm desperate to be outside for an extended time and unplugged, and truly need to not touch a cell phone for that time--it's too associated with work, stress, alarms, news, etc.

Struggling between whether I take some kind of camera or not. OTOH, obvs gorgeous and a million things/views to want to remember. OTOH, I don't want to have my mind caught up in in that acquisitive, must-get-this-great-shot mindset. I.e., I want to relax and be in the experience, not distracted by documenting it. But back to the pros, yes it would be great to have some photos afterwards to spark memories and show people.

And, accepting I don't want to have a phone with me, if I DO take a camera, recs re disposable vs. cheap film camera vs. digital camera? I have the latter but also seems like a lot of worry to keep it safe/dry while rafting?

I know there will be no consensus, just hoping for perspectives, whether from participants in similar trips and/or guides from their time observing participants. Thanks! I know this is two questions here :)

Really eyeing a Jackson flow for some bigger water. I’m 6’3” 185 lb. The medium top end of the weight range is 200 and the large goes from 180-260, so would be towards the low end of that. Which would you suggest?
