Got an email today from Grakksaw showing their Backcountry boot dryer is on sale for $35.

Backcountry Bootdryer

Wet boots ruin hunts. The Grakksaw Backcountry Bootdryer is built for outdoorsmen who live out of a pack and need a simple way to dry boots fast without hauling bulky, power-hungry gear. This is a pair of compact bootdryers, one for each boot/glove. Designed to move air efficiently. Each set...

What is the time reduction for drying vs just air drying in a non-hot tent for anyone who has used these...

 

[Carr5vols]

Also how many Mah are used on a portable charger to dry boots if anyone knows that as well...

 

[TimberHunter]

Thanks, ordered one

If not none, close to none. Warm, dry air is the magic in the beans.

I would not use it without a fire nearby.

Caveat being that if you’re road hunting and the truck heater is running full tilt going spot to spot, they speed up the process a ton.

Much appreciated!

I find this a bit hard to believe…? Moving air (even if cold) into and out of a boot should significantly help reduce the dry time wouldn’t it?

Yeah technically but if you’re in a 20 degree tent for 6 hours to sleep, changing the time to dry from 24 hours to 17 hours isn’t doing anything in real life.

it's kind of the same as having your boots sitting on the ground in the tent vs hanging them up in the peak with a stove.
ya, they'll dry on the ground but, they'll dry in ¼ the time up in the peak even without the dryers. the dryers speed it up even more.
plus, who doesn't prefer warm boots in the morning!

To make sure I’m tracking, are you saying using the dryers is comparable to the difference between leaving your boots on the ground vs up in the peak of the tent when using a stove?

Most of my backpack hunting is without a stove and truck camping I bring a buddy heater to use 10 min before I go to bed and when I wake

I suppose they have a redesign inbound on these? I was watching the price around Black Friday and never saw them on sale. It’s surprising they would do a clearance in January as you think they would want to dump their inventory before Jan 1st to avoid paying taxes on it.

I tried using $15 computer fans, but it was difficult to keep them oriented correctly inside the boot. You do really need the boot frame to make this idea work.

Code "Gritty" will save you another 10% as well off the boot dryer and game bags if you pick some up.

 

[Jstumbaugh]

Thanks for the heads up and helping me spend money

Good find, total rip off at full price but for $38.50 with Gritty code they might come in handy.
