Moose hunting season is this weekend, will try this process TODAY! Thank you👍🏼
oldie but goodie. thanks for the tips as always.
The Latvian boot lover
Thanks Janis. You're the man
I never thought about doing it wet. I usually use SnoSeal, and just put it on pretty heavy and use anhair dryer to liquify it and get it to soak in. I do it like 2*/year.
I always heated boots with hair drier after cleaning to help dry the water and warm the leather then worked in snoseal. Always good to see other techniques
fordrac1ng81 I agree with your assessment. Logic suggests the water molecules are filling the pores in the leather so there's no room for the waterproofing agent to penetrate unless it was introduced simultaneously with the water.
I alway wash mine, let them dry, then heat them with a hair dryer to open the pores. Then I apply waterproofing in layers, heating each application with the hair dryer to liquefy the agent so it can soak in to every crack and crevice, until the leather won't absorb any more.
This process has always served me well...to each their own I suppose.
MrThunderbumper Agreed 100%
Haha, I should have read down before I posted. I do the same thing!
thanks Janis!
👏👏👍make more vid like this. Thank you Sir for this vis
Good tip. I just got myself some expensive hunting boots and learning to take care of them because I don't think I'll buy another one of these within 5 years
Heat gun and vasiline worked wonders for mine
How do you feel about Obenauf's brand?
What first lite gear are you wearing?
🤣🤣😂😂🤣 bathroom sink... he's either single or dancing with danger!
John Tan , wife probably threw a 6. But proper boot care is always a 10. Lol
Looks like a laundry room
What brand of boots do you recommend? So many on today's market are not worth doing this to they are just throwaways and buy another pair due to sole construction and cheap stitching.
So i have a brand new pair of boots. Should i still wet them prior to using wax?
Janis looking young! Lol thank you for ur insight
You mean to tell me, the Eagle is waterproofing his boots once a week!? Golly!!
I always find that when I water proof my boots my feet sweat like crazy! Is this product still breathable?
Buy some goretex membrane boots ,IT will help alot
I've done this exact process for years. I've always wondered if the scent of the waterproofing product is a red flag to wild game...what is your opinion, Steven?
The Grasseater you better believe it is
It's much simpler than this. Buy Kenetrek's water proofing boot wax and apply liberally and frequently
Ok, so I learned something new. Wet boot first. Cool, thanks Eagle!
What boots are those?
My Latvian grandmother says it's bad luck to put shoes on a table.
Is janis a true latvian(born in latvia) or is he an american with latvian parents?
Boots ready....lets go huntin
Jāni, brauc mājās
My wife would thoroughly murder me if I cleaned my boots in the bathroom sink.
Every week?! Wow. Alright I guess
This video gave me windburn
This is NOT the proper way to condition leather. Do not soak the boots in water. If you do this prior to applying the leather conditioner, the conditioner will just end of sitting on the surface of the leather rather than soaking into the pores. It’s common sense really. Probably why he ends up having to do this every week lol.
Funny that the British army teaches to wet the leather first before conditioning and waterproofing and they have a little bit more knowledge and experience than you!😂
What's more interesting and indicative of a dullard is they only ever criticise without any offer of a contrary remedy 🤡
Cleans them in the wife's sink....we are the same..
