Equipment and Put-In Manager
The equipment/put-in manager is responsible for making sure the rafting equipment and the put in are kept in good condition. The equipment/put-in manager should go through the equipment on a regular basis to see what equipment needs to be cleaned, what needs to be repaired, and what needs to be replaced. Although the guides wash the wetsuits, booties, and rain gear at the end of each trip, the equipment/put-in manager is responsible for more thorough cleaning. The equipment/put-in manager periodically washes and deodorizes the life jackets, wetsuits, booties, rain gear, and helmets. The equipment/put-in manager is responsible for doing simple repairs on the equipment, remarking the company name and information on boats, life jackets, helmets, etc., as needed, repairing the clotheslines, and for taking the equipment to a local shop for more complex repairs. The equipment/put-in manager is responsible for getting the put-in ready for the season. This may involve extensive digging and moving rocks at the beginning of the season since winter rains damage the old roadbed that is our access down to the water. Once the put-in area is fixed, the equipment/put-in manager is responsible for maintaining the put-in and keeping the trash picked up in the put-in area.
