Re: Physics Q/As for the casual reader
For what it's worth, I love the idea. It'd be a central database that summarizes years of accumulated knowledge and experience. At the end of each summary, perhaps there could be links to the more in-depth, equation-oriented physics debates for those willing to enter that zone.

Re: Thinner Lines = higher speed
Was a conclusive consensus every achieved at your post-competition soirée? We were just talking about this very thing (or something close enough) last night in our CCI COVID Zoom meeting.

Re: Wading boots by shoe companies
Anyone had a look at canyoning boots? I have a guide friend who swears by them. Think this was the brand http://www.upandunder.co.uk/Watersports/Clothing/Footwear/P---Canyon-Guide---35531/ . Those look really interesting, though perhaps a bit hot?? I've not done any canyoning, but have spent a litt...

Re: Line management video/description
Its a hook you use to hang your towels on 😉 Here its just flued onto a par of waders, to hang your lineloops on, for management 😊 That's all I need is more stuff hanging off of me when I'm fishing.

I don't know what it's supposed to look like, but the pic in the link looks like a cancerous jellyfish to me. :laugh: :laugh: Even with reading glasses on. :D Even though I'm nowhere near ready to start working on an MCI, this is a great topic. How many times have we mucked up line control and stepp...
