1400 gram Boots

[BHC]

Had these boots but my pitbull tore them apart a few years ago. Super warm, easy walking. Cheaper on Amazon then actually from sportsmansguide.com

They just got delivered. Very comfortable,  nicely made, price is even better. Cheaper from Amazon with free shipping than from sportsmansguide.com

Is 1400gr up in the collar or in the toes?  Bought 2400gr boots once and that insulation was all around the ankles giving it poor support and there was nothing in the toe area.  My 800gr were warmer.  I won't buy boots online again unless I can feel them in a store first.  Problem is finding a store around here.  Stick your hand all the way into the toe box and let me know what you feel compared to the top of the boot

I find once you get over 800 gr of insulation the boots are too heavy and clumsy. If you don't have a long walk, maybe they will work. I would rather use toe warmers, full length foot warmers, or the over boot covers. They are very light to pack in and put on once you get to the stand.

How much is in the front of the toe area? Under foot is the insole.

Talk about Insulated Boots mine are only 66 years old and almost weigh 3 Lbs each at the time Top Shelf $$$$ the tung of the boot dry roted so I smeard a layer of Shoe Goo top to bottom good for another 66. 

Still in use for snow removal Might add my feet froze when deer standing  

First hunting boots were Golushes  filled with news paper

Think we need to start a go fund me to get you a new pair.  I wore the green rubber boots with the thin felt lining.  Toes were always frozen.  Probably why I have Raynauds now in my toes. Inherited a brand new pair my father had. 

Still haven't worn them.  No laces so you don't have to bend over to put them on.  I know the feeling.

Funny. When you look at pictures of hunters years ago, they didn't have anywhere near the clothing and footwear we have. Humans are getting weaker I guess.

We froze our toes.  Had heavy wool suits, and alcohol burners under blankets.  Still had to walk every couple hours to warm back up.

I don't think they hunted out of treestands back then. They had to be moving all the time to keep warm.

Private property had box blinds built either in trees or on the ground.  Didn't see any on public until the invasion of bow hunters started making 2x4 platform stands

Figure some 72 years ago money was tight my huniting cloths were layers of hand me downs and army navy surplus, 

I did not look so forward for deer hunting knowing what was instore, It was sure cold in the Mountans of Susex county Wallpack 0-20 was the norm snow a given,  I used sterno under a army Blanket btween my feet seem not to bother any deer as they came and were all Does My Father had to walk up to are stands way before the sun came up  that was a warm up till the sweat began to get cold used to change out socks after the climb. Nothing helped me and my feet hands from Freezing even the hand warmers in my pokets, Again all that never seemed to bother the deer like the thinking of today with Scent and Camoflag .  only a red hat or a patch or 2 was needed, Even the paper buck shot shotgun shells did not like the weather had to keep dry and warm  still have some . 

Than we graduated to Woolridge wool suits mine was the Trditional faher went with the new Insulated one. the wind would rip right throug them and it rained and got soaked must have adde 50 lbs . 

As the years pased used the same boots but went insulated Carharts Coat and Overalls since i than hunted with Freehold Turky Swamp  Brush - Briars   Beaters. and Garduated to Senior Perminat Stander for Shot Gun and Black Powder. Might add not my style of Hunting. But all my hunting partners had passed.  

And as i have said and get in trouble for Not a Fan of all the changes of hunting in NJ I am just Old School
