Gentleman,
I'm looking for first hand experience of Asat clothing.
Build quality/durability.
Functionality.
Customer service
Stuff like that.
Especially of the current clothing offered by them, rather than the older stuff made by F.L.
Although I'd also be interested in how their current...
I don't wear boots that stuff, so I could be wrong but I'd assume that you could need to size up.
Also wool socks could help. As would gaiters obviously. Also, nylon is fairly good at soaking up water.
GPS watches are different yes, but it's also a GPS and increasingly a bluetooth device strapped to your body, even reading heart rate, etc then uploading all that data. All of it. You know that's not private, right?
That's a hard pass from me chief.
We all, (me included) have been playing...
The short answer is no.
I've used it in the past, 10-15 years ago when I regularly ran mountain marathons, so I understand why people use it.
Ultimately though for the past five plus years I've been removing tech from my life wherever possible.
It's only had positive effects for me, my wife...
You're not the only one.
I've used vibram five fingers in the outdoors throughout the year including autumn and winter in all terrain.
Always worked well if I was moving, but if not moving I'd feel the cold as my feet were almost always soaked though.

I first came across Snyder and Kifaru because of Brain Call and the youtube video of the then Gritty Bowman podcast, "Why are Kifaru so dam expensive". Or something close to that.
Aron was canny tense, Brain was canny square and it was like an awkward first date.
That was also how I first came...
They've built up a brand following and their prices now match it.
Hults bruks are another very old Swedish axe company that make Stella axes, and have premium and budget lines. Often the only difference with the budget is the finish on the head, (hasn't had the finishing time put into it)...
I've been wearing all types of minimal footwear for fifteen years.
Terriaplana, was rebranded to vivobarefoot.
I stopped wearing vivos six or seven years ago but ultimately I've come back to them.
They are overpriced, and not robustly enough made, (for hard outdoor use) however they are often...
The only stupid questions are the ones we don't ask.
Broad overview:
Barefoot shoes or minimal shoes are both fairly undefined terms, but what it's meant by them is this; shoes that aid in the natural function of the foot, ankle, leg, body mobility.
Once you restrict the bodies natural...
It's because people are saying out loud a type of internal monologue.
Narrating their thoughts and feelings to you as though they are in a movie made for morons, by morons so the plot needs narration.
They are their main character.
They think their character is so exciting that you'll be...
Trapping is the oldest and most effective form of hunting.
Try and ban that, and you're a useful idiot doing the work of the anti hunting lobby for them.
Carry a multi tool to snip wires if needs be.
Understand how traps work.
Try to train your dog to avoid traps.
Start conversations with...
The same question gets asked to Kifaru quite a bit but their response is that they are to busy doing what they are already doing, and that it's likely a legal / liability minefield so they aren't keen.
Alot of chaps rig up a cheap to mid range carrier to their kifaru frames though with some...
**** off that app.
Eat real food.
If it existed 500 years ago as food, it's food.
If it has an ingredient list it's not food.
Dr Paul Saladino and Dr Sean Baker are two chaps to look up, and listen to their podcasts.
