Inside Passage Information

We seem to associate shock with voltage, but it is more a result of current (amperage). The reason a 50,000 volt taser shot doesn't kill you is the current is only .0036 Amps. 0.100 to 0.200 Amps could be deadly. You can be shocked with a personal protection device powered by an AA battery. It makes for an interesting Google Rabbit Hole on a gray afternoon.

@CPS I'm going to throw it out there, and I won't be offended if you're not interested; I'd be in the market for paddling alone together on part of your trip. I'm eager to get out there, but I don't have a schedule that allows me to 'boil the entire passage' in one go. Based on what you've posted I feel we may be in the same zone of how we go about researching and learning. Ping me either way and maybe we just run into each other on the trail.

Cheers,
Chris
