0:00.0	Hey folks, Miranda Newberg here with another episode of Loopholds Hunt Talk Radio.
0:06.8	We're still sheltering in place here in Montana. I suspect most of you are.
0:12.4	Today is April 15th. Normally I'm cranking or worrying about tax filings on April 15th. That
0:22.9	is my other job as a CPA but I'm not very good at that job anymore so I try to avoid the CPA firm
0:31.2	with every possibility I can. If that means doing a podcast with the most interesting man in the
0:40.6	outdoor world, Thor Tingi of Alpaca Raffes, that's what I'm going to do. Today that is what you're
0:50.7	going to hear. Even though I don't work so far ahead on podcasts, this one probably won't get
0:55.0	released till sometime in May. I picked Thor as a guest. I met him two years ago at the BHA
1:04.1	rendezvous in Boise. He is, every bit is interesting and has as much adventure under his belt as I
1:13.9	had been told. Everyone is like, you got to meet this guy. You got to talk with him. He's got
1:20.4	stories of cool places and cool adventures and he owns this really cool company with his family

1:49.6	here. Let's get you some rafts. Get out there and show people how you can use these.
1:56.4	AlpacaRaff.com is the place where you can learn about the company, the story, but for the next
2:03.7	hour, hour and a half probably, you're going to get to hear it right from the man himself, Mr. Thor.
2:11.0	But before we get there, they're given a special promo code for our audience. Alpaca Raffes
2:19.3	has never done this. If you go to AlpacaRaffed, not plural, not rafts, but AlpacaRaffed.com,
2:28.0	and use promo code Randy2020. I know normally it's promo code Randy, but the way they're
2:34.1	system is they track things by period. It's Randy2020. You're going to get 10% off one of these
2:41.8	really cool rafts. If you're like me right now, you might be like, how would I use a raft? By the time
