I bought some *serious* Herman Munster cold weather boots.<br />They were Cabelas removable liner boots with I think 1200 grams of insulation. (The temps dropped 100 deg going from AZ to MN that year) <br /><br />They are heavy but I think you could be on the dark side of the moon for 2 days and still have toasty warm piggies. They're actually too hot for just "cold", perfect for <b>OH MY GOD!</b> cold.KMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515829.post-30667334754168569812019-02-11T08:29:54.154-08:002019-02-11T08:29:54.154-08:00True, I don't have any cold/wet-weather boots....True, I don't have any cold/wet-weather boots.

Sounds like you need some good boots! But there's never anything wrong with loading more ammo.DaveShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01688116113875695262noreply@blogger.com
