    Knives: money money or not

    I have been researching what knife to buy for a backcountry elk hunt. Some guys say a cheaper knife works for them. Why spend $250 or more when I can spend $50? What are the differences in the knives? What should a guy do? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Crispi Colorado

    Do these boots run what I would say is a normal size. So if you are a size 11 then a size 11 in the crispi colorados is what I should get. Also, anyone get these a half size big for thicker socks. Thanks for the replies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
