    You are a very practical, smart guy, and a natural teacher. That boot and sock lesson is a masterpiece. Thanks muchly.

    The double sock trick is what I've been using for over 21 years when using my combat boots. I always use a cotton ' inner ' sock, and an wool ' outer ' sock, and that most of the year round. Never had a problem with it.

    Many years ago we used the old indoor-outdoor carpet and traced the size of our waders and cut the carpet to the exact size of our boot. Then used a good water proof glue and glued the carpet on. Would get 20yrs out of a pair. I'm not sure if they even make that kind of carpet anymore but you couldn't wear that stuff out.

    Beau, I have spent a lot of time wading in the Potomac. I wear Vietnam Ear Jungle boots. They have heavy lugged soles, fabric upper and they have mesh grommets to let water out. I also wear long BDU style pants to protect my shins and I tie them around the boots, just above the ankle.

    For my leather boots And/or my Brogans, I sprayed them with "Tent Dry" canvas & leather spray (Ya can find the spray cans in the camping center at Walmart). When I did the Civil War Reenactments & had to go through wet grass to small streams it kept the leather dry, unless I stepped into a deep enough water puddle. Then I had problems with water down inside my brogans.

    I use to wade the creek a lot fishing got tired of slipping on the slick rocks ..an old man a WW1 vet told me years ago to use a peice of burlap tied around the sols grips a flat slick rock ral good and can be easily ditched if the occasion calls for it

    When I was a young man, an old-timer fishing mentor told me, that if you wear hip waders, do NOT fasten them to your belt or belt loop. This way if you fall and they fill with water you can get them off faster. Hip waders can hold 4 - 5 gallons per "leg", water is 8 lbs. per gallon. Do the math.

    Im sure someone has told you about the Korkers with the cable speed laces. I salmon fish in NY alot and they are great. They also have replaceable soles. You can choose rubber, felt or cleated botoms and even buy extra cleats incase any come out.

  • @TheRelicPosse

    A pair of water shoes works great with a pair of crocs sports as an outer...you just need to get the crocs a size larger. I don't slip or get stones in the shoes.

  • @SIG442
    @SIG442 11 років тому

    Perhaps you can find some in a militairy dump or a fleemarket. I do suggest to get the newer type and not the old one. Ill be using my militairy boots for land hunting at least, it's a lot better then sportshoes or many other things. Noses are rubber and not metal though, but thats a good thing since metal get wedged in your feet making you loose that foot. Rubber does not.

    Thanks Beau, I was about to start water-detecting with my AT-Gold this year and was debating on using waders or a short wet suit or sneakers etc. so this helped a lot, thanks! Have you ever tried waders or a wet suit, I HATE cold water!

  • @SIG442
    @SIG442 11 років тому

    soccer shin guards might help protect your shins a lot better, although you probably do need to figure out how to keep them inside your socks somehow. Perhaps knee pads and elbow pads to protect those parts (militairy grade ones). Yes it makes you a little heavier, but it protects you at least a lot better.

  • @greatscotmagic
    @greatscotmagic 8 років тому

    hi again, Beau! , it Stuart again.
    what type of combat boots do you use now?
    Could you tell me the model of the Cabela shoes that you use?
    Did you ever do the cleat installation video?
    Have you thought about putting something like some foam rubber over your shin inside the sock to help protect it?
    thanks again, until next time, Stuart

  • @johnstewart8849
    @johnstewart8849 7 років тому

    Note: The first were NOT “boat shoes!” A sailor would scream if you wore those on his decks. Boat shoes are smooth-bottomed, so they don’t carry gravel like those WATER shoes.

    Beau, are the wading boots (the felt Cabela's and the similar non-felted ones) comfortable to wear (not asking about your mods, just off the shelf)?

    How do you deal with your feet being wet all day long? Doesn't that wreck your skin? Do you use some sort of foot remedy or are your feet just that tough?

  • @GeorgiaRidgerunner
    @GeorgiaRidgerunner 9 років тому +1

    silicone treated leather combat boots ....would think the would need to be modified but thats only a small problem ..and also ive walked in the ocean before with this kinda boot on for quite some time before water leaked in... your opinion?????

  • @dankeebler6171
    @dankeebler6171 8 років тому +1

    Try putting a cheap pair of socks over your boots, you will chew through a lot of them but should help on slick rock

  • @llaeeZ

    What about french "jungle boots"? They are all canvas with a rubber cap over the toes. should be durable, light weight and dry fast.

      Zeeall......how about Viet Nam era combat boots. Rubber cleat sole with canvas sides/uppers. They were designed to make the boot dry quicker and the water to drain out after wading creeks/rivers.

    I've often wondered what you used for boots. I still wonder if there is any issue with your feet being soaked for extended periods of time, i.e, trenchfoot. Enjoy seeing your solutions.

  • @SIG442
    @SIG442 11 років тому

    Might be true indeed, for sure it adds a lot of weight. Did you try militairy boots yet? It might be a good alternative. Do know each boot can be up to 1KG though. But after a few months you shouldnt be able to feel the difference much.

  • @SIG442
    @SIG442 11 років тому

    I can see the idea why not to take militairy boots, leather doesn't do well in water unfortunately. But it might be a excellent shoe to keep pebbles and other junk out since its higher up the leg and tighter. No rivers here like you are hunting in unfortunately, so you would have to figure out yourself if its usefull or not. If you do use it, i strongely recommend the militairy thermo socks. These are less likely to break down on you.

    I was wondering when your. In a river or stream do you have to have landowners permission to hunt in the stream or as long as you stay in stream you don't need land owners permission. In ohio as long as you can touch bottom I guess you don't need permission I've been told
