    Crispi Wild Rock GTX Plus Liner Thickness?

    I called and talked to Crispi, he had an interesting explanation. He told me the type of insulated Gore-Tex booty they use has the insulation laminated on the outside of the booty. They use a duratherm synthetic fiber instead of the traditional Primaloft, and this duratherm has a higher R value...

    Recommend some Rubber Knee Boots to me

    I have a pair of insulated Viking deck boots (similar tread design as xtratuffs), they are ok. Some things I like, some things I really don't. Their insulation is a layer of neopreen that adds a little bit of warmth, but not a ton. My father has a pair of insulated xtratuffs, he likes them, but...

    Crispi Wild Rock GTX Plus Liner Thickness?

    I am trying to decide if I am going to return them. Maybe I am missing something here, but I just don't see how it's possible that these are very warm. These are a little more roomy of a boot than I normally buy, so I can run thicker socks to get some warmth, but I paid for insulated boots and...

    Asolo product warranty???

    I had a really sketchy warrantee interaction with Aslo quite a few years ago. I had a failure with a pair of my boots (I think it was the gortex liner). I talked the to their customer service, they asked me where I bought them, and I told them REI. They told me REI was their authorized repair...

    Recommend some Rubber Knee Boots to me

    Kind of the standard knee high with the chevron sole. I do get the steel toe version because I smash my toes into things too often. If you have wide calf's you might want to look at the one that has an expanding top. I use deck boots to hunt blacktail and Roosevelt elk, quite often covering...

    Crispi Wild Rock GTX Plus Liner Thickness?

    I bought a pair of Crispi Wild Rock GTX plus 800 gram insulated boots for mid season. Something for late Oct – Nov where I don’t quite need Sorel’s for warmth and I still want to be able to climb mountains. They arrived and I like most everything about them, but one thing has me concerned...

    In the market for a new compact spotter

    IIRC both the eyepiece and the objective lens started fogging up on the same trip. Which Pentax eyepiece are you running? Is it one of those really wide angle fix mag set ups? I read their warrantee policy and it looks reasonable, how is their customer service and execution of their warrantee?

    Dogs for pack animals?

    Interesting you mention "high anxiety dog and a pack helped". I had a pit/Dalmatian mix a long time ago that had a lot of anxiety issues. I noticed that when backpacking he was much better. I started putting his little pack on him at home and it really seemed to calm him down a bit. Exercise...

    Dogs for pack animals?

    Yes, that is a good point. I have read the RCW and it is quite vage. I was going to try and get some clarification, since they are going to be stock animals and not hunters. The funny thing is, there is no doubt in my mind they will hinder my ability to harvest animals, not help...

    In the market for a new compact spotter

    People that say that "weight doesn't matter for xyz" don't hunt like I do, and that's fine. I loved everything about my ED50 (including the fact it wasn't much over a pound) and was plenty of optic for what I do. If it wasn't for the bad customer service I would just get another. But I figured...

    Dogs for pack animals?

    Those pictures are absolutely fantastic, I think my favorite is the one with the goat and smiling golden. Thanks for answering my questions, I have a couple more. Can your dog’s cover 10 miles a day with 30-35lbs in their packs? I backpack hunt solo in august for bear, Sept and oct for mule...

    In the market for a new compact spotter

    Thank you guys. So it sounds like the three recommendations right now is the Kowa 553, Kowa 554, and the Athlon Cronus 12-36x50. $399 sounds like a great deal, but I have to be honest, I don't know anything about Athlon products, and so I am skeptical. I want high quality, durable glass, that...

    Dogs for pack animals?

    I love this, the pictures and everything, thanks for posting. Couple of questions: -When you are glassing, stalking into an animal, etc. are they with you they whole time? -I am impressed the amount of weight they can carry in those packs, have you ever tried anything with a frame and panniers...

    Dogs for pack animals?

    Very cool, any more details you can provide? What kind of breed? what kind of saddles/packs/panniers, etc. Do you happen to remember the name of the outfit?

    In the market for a new compact spotter

    For the last quite a few years I have run a Nikon ED 50 with a MCII eye piece for my spotting scope and loved it. It started fogging up internally so I sent it in to get repaired/replaced in July. Historically I have had good luck with Nikon customer service, but not this time. They refused to...
