New State restrictions on boots

[riversidejeep]

Uh huh…..but how does that translate to alarm and banning materials used in boots, jackets etc? Do we really think me walking in the woods with gore tex in my boots is killing fish in rivers, contaminating wells, etc? Doesn’t pass the sniff test man.

Well I for one don't want any fish dead on my account because I waded across with my boots on. I'm in the process of knitting some waterproof boots out of fir needles with pasture raised,organic,cage free, RSBT free Black oak for the soles with hand cut Vibram pattern . I'm almost in production but am having a difficult time getting the weave tight enough to keep water out but let the vapor out. Any suggestions out there ?

If you're not already aware that nearly everything in our daily life is or will slowly kill us and the environment I'm not sure what to say. Seems every year more and more information comes out about synthetic materials and their detriment. Hell the Coho in the Pugent sound are contaminated with tire rubber from highway runoff and its not allowing them to spawn naturally. Fry in the sound itself are dying from prescription and illicit drug poisoning from traces of drugs in the water originating in human excrement. If you take Ibuprofen and pee in your toilet you're poisoning fish. Its an alarming trend and I'd agree as sportsman we need to do all we can to mitigate damage to the environment, we are after all stewards of the land. That said the government restricting inconsequential things like DWR when they allow trillion dollar businesses to pump this crap into our food is straight up BS. Its still all about the almighty dollar and who's paying who. Until the government takes a hard stance on the major players of pollution the end user should not be the ones getting screwed.
