Spring Tahr Hunting (Few mistakes made...)
Massive cheers to @SwaziNewZealand for kitting out the guys with a set of pants, cap and totem merino top.
Bit of a bugger i broke the camera at the start of the trip but that's all part of it! Thanks for watching.

Bloody windy 3 days away hunting trying to chase red stags. Unsure where we went wrong but still a great trip with plenty of animals seen. 2 good bucks giving us the slip which added to the excitement.
Are these the best hunting boots for NZ? Lowa vs Crispi

Quick overview on my current boot selection and why. Everyone is going to have differing opinions on what is best and that's fine. And yes, I do realise there are other good hunting boot brands out there - this is just based off the knowledge i can share off my experience with these two brands. Do plenty of homework before you head out and spend money on something that doesn't work for you.

Sunburn, Snow, heaps of meat animals and a 57th Birthday for Moose! I was a bit grumpy having not seen any good bulls, but this crew was just happy being out there!

    A very well presented video and thank you for sharing it with us. As a hunter myself I'm always interested in what rifle and calibre being used, plus the distance being shot! While you were not that happy with the shot, it was still good to see them both drop to itheir knees. Steepness of shot has caught me out too on the odd occasion. I didn't recognise that area, would you share that please?

    Diotto crispi top

  • @dtom420
    @dtom420 Рік тому

    By any metric, Crispi boots are 3X better constructed than any Lowa Boot. The 2 boots you compared are built for totally different purposes and comparing them is ridiculous. Coming to a ‘this “brand” is better than the other from such a comparison is equally ridiculous. The fact you don’t know why the Crispi’s are more waterproof shoes that you haven’t read any literature, watched any videos or done ANY research on the construction of these boots. So, how in the world is someone to take your analysis seriously?? FWIW - Crispi and some of the other SERIOUS mountaineering boot manufacturers use a seamless gore-Tex bootie that’s inserted into the boot and glued in place without a single stitch puncturing the membrane. LOWA uses the typical method found in cheaper hiking boots- they use a piece of goretex that only drapes over the top of the foot and is then glued and sewn to the sole. THAT is a weak point where leaks INEVITABLY occur. Spend a little time looking into Crispi boot construction. Look, I’m not saying Crispi is the best for all scenarios, although they make my go-to boots for most mountain hunting; but compared to Lowa I don’t see how Lowa could come out on top. Crispi is one of the brands to buy for 10-20 years and have re-soled as needed. I’m a full time, year round professional hunting guide. I’ve been fortunate to have hunted all over the world over the past 35 years. Given that, I have tried MANY boots and have, personally, settled on Crispi to keep my feet healthy and happy in extreme places.

    • @bevanbolger7284

    For someone looking to get into hunting for the first time these are both pretty pricey. Any good cheaper options?

    • @bevanbolger7284
      @bevanbolger7284 Рік тому

      Tough question as my main recommendation for anyone is to buy the best boots your budget can afford. That way your feet are comfortable, dry and the boot lasts longer. A cheaper set may last 1/2 as long as a more expensive set of good boots so you end up spending the same in the long run.. And then it comes back to the use case as well. If someone was still looking at going cheaper then maybe start doing some research in the area of scarpa boots.

    • @michaellong1169
      @michaellong1169 Рік тому

      Depending on where you hunt consider temp and moisture. In wet colder areas always go for a rubber insulated. Not sure where you are but for warmer/dryer climates I wear a Blundstone/Chelsea type boot. Military surplus boots are great also and some have Gore-tex for less than US$100.
