    Hanwag Size

    I wear an 11 Salomon 4D and Crispi Nevadas but an 11.5 in the Hanwag alverstone II fits me perfect. They are hands down the most comfortable boot I own.

    Day hunting emergency shelter question

    I keep a sheep tarp, small piece of tyvek, a few stakes, cord, and a space blanket in my bag all the time. It all packs up in the tarp bag and is fairly light and compact

    Most durable leather boots? Schnees, Kenetrek, Hoffman or Crispi?
