Jake is one of my favorite people. What you see is what you get; he doesn’t pull punches, and you never have to wonder what he thinks on any given subject or individual. On this one, we rambled and chased several squirrels with no real agenda other than two dudes sitting down to catch up.

EP 202 - How To Find the Perfect Pair of Hunting Boots

The Mindful Hunter Podcast ·

2024/11/19

One of the most challenging things about finding the right boot is that reviews are almost no help whatsoever. Our feet are so personal that it seems you can find just as many people who love a specific boot as hate it. At the end of the day, the only true way to find a boot that works for you is to try it on. However, I think I can help narrow down the selection and find boots that will fit your needs more effectively. 0:00 – Intro 6:07 – Boot selection framework 6:25 – Stiffness 10:40 –

I hope this review is helpful.0:00 – Intro 2:05 – Purpose of insoles 5:41 – Scoring system 5:55 - Price 7:00 –

I have wanted to do a backcountry stove review for a while but have been challenged by what systems to include. With that in mind, I backed up a step and derived some tests to look at how important
