    Early season elk boot question

    How many of you wear taller, stiffer (and albeit heavier) uninsulated leather boots in earlier Sept? Think Kennetrek Mountain Extreme, Hoffman Explorer 8’s, Lowa Tibet GTX Hi, Schnees Beartooth or Granite, Crispi Guide, etc… if you find one that fits well are you wearing them when it’s warmer?

    Ok, this expands off my other thread about the BA Spur / Tiger Wall vs the Nemo's.... Give me some feedback on the arch pole freestanding/semi freestanding tents vs the trekking pole type shelters (like the Durston X-Mid and the TarpTent StratoSpire). It looks like there could be some weight...

    Recommend a Multivitamin

    Anyone got recommendations for a high quality men’s multivitamin? My wife is convinced the daily multi’s you can get anywhere (like Centrum or Kirkland at Costco, etc) are junky and just full of fillers and low quality ingredients… so wants me to try and find something better …. Any suggestions?

    Stretch my Hanwag Alaska

    I have a pair of Hanwag Alaska GTX that for some reason are rubbing a bit on my pinky toes now… don’t know if the boot shrunk a bit or my foot widened or what… anyway, think I would have any luck using one of those ring stretchers on it to try and make some room in this area?

My Brannock length is just shy of 11 on my left foot ( bigger foot). For other boots I own, depending on...
