I've got a rechargeable coleman air pump from wally world for air matresses. It can inflate a bag in about 20 seconds, it can also deflate them just as fast. Of course I often just leave them in depending on how often I'm paddling, and how long I've got to drive.

Yeah, I've already had one swim that made me respect that river!

I came out in the top hole at Slice and Dice and swam the entire rapid, through about 3 or 4 holes, not the most fun I've had....

No roll yet. I just started paddling in May, but I'm confident on most class III stuff (meaning I can handle III+ and some IV), still learning the Middle Ocoee, pretty comfortable on Chattooga 3 and 3.5, Comfortable on LRC Chairlift section, though Bottleneck always makes me nervous, though I've ran...

Safety is always a big consideration. I mean, it is class V Gorilla, on the Green Narrows, after all!

I hiked up there the weekend before the race. No way I'm running that, ever.

That's a big boat, I've got a big boat as well. The boats you are talking about a radical change from what you are paddling now. Unless you paddle on a regular basis, it might be a difficult change. Something like a Probe 12/13 or Vertige might be less of a shock. But then again you might be looking...

Some of us big boys can't fit in a dry suit. Some of us can't afford one after we pay for a boat, either.

NRS has a nice selection of wetsuits.

I have a pair of the big solo end bags. I've only had them for 5 months, but they have worked well for me, I've been paddling pretty much every weekend since May with them. Mine have grommets all over the place, including the "nipples". They seem pretty solid. One time I left them out in the sun whe...

The Chattooga has been holding water well. Section 3, or Section "3.5" (Section 4 before you get to the 5 falls) are good Class III runs.
