This is why it's essential to carry walkie talkies with waterproof sheaths on your team. Stay properly communicated mid-range, stay much safer.

Even a beginner in whitewater kayaking is made aware of horizontal water circulation after weirs, dams and waterfalls. It is a counterintuitive danger, as not visible on the surface (you just see calm water with seemingly innocent bubbles), yet a very dangerous trap. That is why as a precaution you usually place someone with a rope with a small buoy at its end, at the foot of such a place. Now when water falls down in a fashion that it forms a curtain, you have two such circulations, on both sides of the curtain. And if you are behind a solid curtain of water that rope will not reach you. An extremely dangerous situation.

@@chrisharris4740 Well, the paddlers are speaking English, their accents are clearly not English or European, they're paddling kayaks made in the US, and there are numerous Thompson Rivers in the US and Canada. So it's a reasonable guess that they're somewhere in North America.

Steven famously held out on ever paddling a creek boat. He ran a bunch of steep stuff in his half slices before finally giving in and buying a proper creek boat. This was the first time Jakob had seen him in a creek boat.
