I have used the ones with the side zipper for years really like them. Have a Kevlar toe instead of steel really light. Let me find a link.
That's what I would like to do including my stumps but the permit police have come out here and shut down a fire, don't want to deal with that. That guy had poured a TON of diesel to get his going and it really never did and the fumes were going to a neighboring property who called it in. Got any tricks/tips for burning stumps?
I actually need another pair.
Now workout and running shoes, I go through pretty routinely. Altra is the brand. I have 4 pairs in rotation currently.
Happy Easter everyone. So last night, while taking pics of the full moon, I saw a small herd of cattle running thru my yard. That's a first. I drove to the farm I thought they were from, nobody home. Next farm...they called the first ones. Midnight mass. I woke today to them finally coming home with am escort. Good to see!
I see a grill, I see a cow, just sayin' : )
My yard shoes are Brooks they have a wider toe box and perfect for the uneven sloped ground I deal with.
Asics are my workout and running around daily shoes.
I have an old pair of military steel toe boots that I use for any chainsaw work.
So you were up until the cows came home...
Actually woke to the cows coming home..
Hmmmm. Back to bed then?

I’d just pile your limbs and brush on them each time you burn, they will dry out and disappear after a few yrs. Funny story, I was a painter/ finisher yrs ago. Always washed brushes with mineral spirits or lacquer thinner and poured dirty thinners into the old containers. One customer asked how to get rid of old stumps at his lake home, told him to soak the stumps with the old dirty thinners and light em. Next time I saw him he said I didn’t tell him they would burn black smoke. What I didn’t know was he had a large pile of stumps and he dumped about 20 gallons on the pile and lit it. He said the people across the lake were lined up wondering wtf was going on
Yep, that style is what I wore at the PD year around very comfortable.

Every place I have worked I had boot allowance of $60-75, so usually got new every year. Ive tried a number of brands. Actually liked Timberlands the best. I say liked, because I have had 4 of the same and they all felt pretty good from new except the most recent pair are terrible. Have been wearing them like one day a week to try breaking them in. Luckily my old ones are still wearable. I had a couple pairs of Red Wings, Good boots, but made in China like so many others now. As I recall they were both easy break-in, but I cant say they were any better than the older Timberland's at twice the price.

Snow scheduled today here as well. But only a 90% chance so it may not.
Last pair of cat boots i had, there were grey inserts in the soles, coarse gravel chewed up the inserts in a month and water went right through. I had to fight for warranty, and when the replacements came in i gave them away.thats when i switched to timberlines. Can walk in 4” of water with them.
