but then water can get in, and stay in, when you go knee deep in a creek

Yeah I basically fear water unless I'm planning to swim

if you make it out of a material that can't become waterlogged, but create drainage holes, the water flows in when you go into water, and flows out when you leave, letting your feet stay dry when you're on land

The particular event I went to, (cringe if you want) was a three day airsoft game put on by a couple of rangers. Tons of fun, I got to play as a starving Venezuelan rebel with a G3. The setting was an alternate reality confederation of south american countries under a communist dictatorship with a small rebellion of citizens who were being covertly assisted by a ranger battalion and one ODA. The whole thing written and ran by a couple of actual rangers.
I figured the best approach for attack would be to come from the shittiest path possible, so I lead my ragtag fireteam crawling through hundreds of yards of thorns, creeks, swamps, and everything else unpleasant that Picher Oklahoma had to offer. It worked, we cleared house and rolled the enemy team while they were too busy complaining about people using white light instead of IR.
After getting waaaay off track there, desert boots in miles of swamp and thorns was not fun.

but also fun in a way, larping as a starving peasant

Cop shoots little girl why trying to shoot a dog protecting her and gets ruled immune.

The actual fuck.

I was seeing if anyone had experience with quick dry boots over water proof. I am debating the transition but don't want to drop more money on boots

I remember when that happened

Yeah he just got immune from being sued or prosecuted.

Look up reviews for the LALO Shadow Amphibian. It's fucking expensive, but everyone I've talked with who runs them said they're worth it.

Saving up for other things though, so it's not exactly high on my list

I see a composite shank as something that I would like but a super rigid sole isn't something everyone likes

It's important to keep the sole from collapsing and taking the load off of your feet, especially if you're carrying a ton of junk. I think part of the reason was to make the boot more quiet when moving

anyway, I've stayed up too late. Gotta get to work in the morning

Hey guys

Alright dueces dude

I love my Danners. I’ve stepped in a creek until it was above the top (these are 8 inch boots) and pulled it out to test.

Walked for about 10 minutes, took it off, and my socks were dry.

My dads wore the same pare of Danner ft lewis something for 20 years. @[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/

Hes wearing the greem Danner ABUs now.

Yo

I’ve got some Sage ones.

I thought they’d match decent with Woodland but they’re not dark enough RIP

They still match decently well

Better than tan

And really, any color but black works

@LoudPills Coyote gear and woodland clothing actually do be looking kinda good tho

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ it really depends on where im going. Personally like multicam alot for my area in the summer, atacs fg works decent and kryptek mandrake does okay my pc is always od tho

I’m in the Deep South so there’s a lot of dark greens.

You’re south as well but your environment may be different.

Its not flektarn dark

I have a lot of dark shit around me and I’ve already tested it with a friend.

You using flek? I didnt back read

I went outside and hid on the edge of the woods. Got him to come look for me and he passed right over me at least 10 times. I use Woodland

Woodland is good dude

I love woodland

Nothing at all wrong with it and you can get surplus cheap

Worked well for me so far.

I think I’m gonna get a coyote carrier to go with it.
