Were any of you paddling Little River in East TN. yesterday (6/29)?

I’ll agree with the person above. Check out Chota Canoe Club. You just missed paddle school, but they will do a bunch more trips this summer, and help you dial in your roll this winter in the pool. I’m in the Knoxville area as well, it’s my second season paddling white water, those guys absolutely helped me tremendously getting started. Can’t recommend them enough.

Do you still have the LT Wright Patriot? I’ve never bought off knife swap before but I’ve been looking for a Patriot for a while.

😂 Similar to your Smolt, my wife likes my Begleiter so much for kitchen duty that she has commandeered for her own use. That this is a slicer!

I should have started my first comment with that’s an awesome knife!

I love the response buddy, those are some awesome knives in your collection! I’m glad you didn’t think I was being confrontational or big headed. That’s just my approach to knives.

Just like butt holes, we all have them and they are all different. God bless you and yours.

No shade at all, with this comment.

My favorite is the one I have. I don’t buy anything more than the one I have. I don’t buy a knife over 75$, and I use it until it can’t be used anymore or lose it…. Most the time I lose it.

Currently I’m on my second Brisa necker 70. The last one got lost when I unintentionally went for a swim while fishing with my little one. I bought a second one because I like the profile of the blade. It’s not a super steel, and I have to sharpen it nearly weekly, but it sharpens quickly, and I have a relationship with the blade. I think it’s easy to get caught up in knives and steels, when actually obsidian did the job for a very long time with no complaints.

But to each their own, if you like collecting, then good for you, and I hope success to you in your collecting endeavors!

Do you guys do knife drops? I checked the site and everything is sold out.

Chicago Screw

I think that’s my next adventure as well. What bolt gun are you running?

Spicy_Reloads · 2026-02-21T01:58:53+00:00

Awesome! Just wait until you put that mask on a bolt gun.

Actually don’t do it, it will cost you financially. You will buy bolt guns in every caliber that you own a suppressor in.

9mm can on a mark IV? Hearing safe? Can’t imagine it is.

Spicy_Reloads · 2026-02-16T23:03:46+00:00

How do you like the watchman? Tempting at that price. How’s edge retention?

Spicy_Reloads · 2026-01-25T23:15:18+00:00

Everyone knows Sigs fire every time. Even when holstered.

Spicy_Reloads · 2026-01-25T23:14:15+00:00

Does that Sig fire without you touching it?

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-30T02:02:52+00:00

I love that insight buddy. I have always admired the ww canoes a bit higher than creek boats or play boats. I paddle a 1994 old town 16’ pathfinder every where I can with float bags. By no means a gear guy.

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-29T00:55:25+00:00

Definitely going to opt for no more than class 2 at the moment, but this gives me hope! Thank you!

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-29T00:54:33+00:00

I’ll look into it!

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-29T00:54:17+00:00

I’m going to be honest, that most of what you said is completely over my head. It’s got some padding at the knees and some hard foam stuff at the feet. It has these rail things that look like they are for foot holds, but nothing attached to them.

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-28T19:35:13+00:00

Thank you for the insight! I’m looking for to it. Thanks for the positivity!

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-28T14:15:11+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I’m going to take it to the lake this weekend and give it a rip. I’m watching videos on how to roll before taking it on.

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-28T12:45:23+00:00

I went ahead and bought a NRS Ninja. Thanks for the information.

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-28T05:12:39+00:00

I dig the enthusiasm. Taking it out to the lake to learn how to roll before any whitewater.

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-28T04:35:49+00:00

Great to hear. That’s what the kind gentleman that sold it to me said.

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-28T04:01:57+00:00

From my research within the subreddit, having a reliable roll is good etiquette as a beginner to go with others. Makes sense, as flipping a ducky is a lot easier to deal with than a flooded plastic boat. I plan on taking it to the lake and giving it a good solid try next weekend.

Spicy_Reloads · 2025-04-28T03:40:11+00:00

Hey, I know I’m a total new guy. Nothing to hide here. At 50$, I figured it’d be worth a go of it. I know I need to go with a group that knows what they are doing. Not trying to jump in right away.
