He soon realized that despite the number of paddlers (and the number of boats sitting unused) in the area, it was still shockingly hard for newcomers to access the sport. When NRS offered support to help give back to his community, Galen knew exactly how to put it to use.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of friends, he constructed a simple wooden shed, stenciled the words \u201cWhite Salmon Boat Library\u201d on the front and filled it with 30 full sets of whitewater gear and equipment. From IKs and creekers to PFDs and helmets, everything has been donated for members to use\u2014free of charge.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-30518 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/2023\/10\/23\/leading-the-way-with-galen-volckhausen-the-boat-library\/boat-library-4\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122143\/Boat-Library-4-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122143\/Boat-Library-4-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122143\/Boat-Library-4-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122143\/Boat-Library-4-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122143\/Boat-Library-4-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122143\/Boat-Library-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122143\/Boat-Library-4-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/2023\/10\/23\/leading-the-way-with-galen-volckhausen-the-boat-library\/boat-library-1\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122125\/Boat-Library-1-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122125\/Boat-Library-1-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122125\/Boat-Library-1-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122125\/Boat-Library-1-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122125\/Boat-Library-1-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122125\/Boat-Library-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122125\/Boat-Library-1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/community.nrs.com\/duct-tape\/2023\/10\/23\/leading-the-way-with-galen-volckhausen-the-boat-library\/boat-library-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122134\/Boat-Library-2-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122134\/Boat-Library-2-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122134\/Boat-Library-2-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122134\/Boat-Library-2-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122134\/Boat-Library-2-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122134\/Boat-Library-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/05122134\/Boat-Library-2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Much like a traditional library, the White Salmon Boat Library is more than a gear shed;
