That may be why you're chasin' and not catchin'.....just sayin'. I fellah has to maintain an air of mystique. Try a loin cloth.

I will second that. I've done quite a bit of business with them lately and they are really good to work with. I wore leather boots the whole time I worked outside and I never found anything warmer...

1. Some Alaskans that questioned his posts.
2. His IP address.
3. Lack of consistency. You have to remember the first lie to keep telling the same one.
4. Some outlandish claims.

Native Dude is a fake, wannabe, troll that lied through his teeth. But only when his lips were moving or his fingers typing. The worm lives in Detroit.

ND - I've had a pair of Glomitts for 2 years. Crazy warm and really handy.

I have bought some but just to use to mow the yard in and general work around the house. When it comes to boots, I think you get what you pay for. Just MHO.

Just so I understand. Is that a dig against Dick's?

I like the Carhartt stuff. (hard to beat Redwing, too). I worked in that as well. But it's just stiff to me and the Cabella's wool is just soft as a baby's bottom. Feels good on my sensitive skin and...

My winter mid-layer wool comes from Cabellas. Shirt and pants. I have no complaints with the quality or the price.

My wool socks are Smartwool Hiking Medium Crew.

Shuck -

Go to the introduction section and tell us about yourself. The more we know about you the better we are able to assist. When you want to do this. Where you want to do it. What skills you...

Corndog - I use wool for my base layer. I have a pair of rain pants (for heavy rains). I either bought them from Cabellas or Backcountry. Otherwise just my poncho.

I don't think that stuff will work, Sarge. It's shaped a bit like a wedge from looking at the picture. I'm more like a bobber. .....:D

It's your story. I give you permission to tell it any way you want.;)

Maybe they offer AARP discounts. (Ancient Alaskan Retired Person).:D

I also wore Carharts when I worked outside. I wore the coveralls and I had the coat with the removable hood. Didn't work out in the rain, though. We had a saying about rain in our trade. "First drop...

Do you wear some protective cover over them in rain? Rain gear, poncho, etc.? Wet cotton, even in summer, can get pretty uncomfortable.

Well, I have to tell you, that was some good info on the strap ons. Things I never would have considered. I sure do understand the adjusting straps with mittens on. What a pain!

If you're just using them for ice, couldn't you use crampons? Here's a set you can put on over your boots and they have replaceable screws.

I don't think another company anywhere in the world matches them for forestry/wood products. I've bought a couple of pair of gaffs from them. We were issued pole gaffs when I worked outside but, as...

Yes, they do make case hardened calks. I don't know if these guys are the cheapest but they do carry them. I doubt you want as many as they are offering but you might call them and see if they will...

'Bout what?

It's gonna be the rest of the night before I get that picture out of my head.:eek:

Hey, Larry - See this thread:

It's hard to beat wool. A polypro material for the first layer although Native Dude's suggestion on silk is also good.
