RE: Back country hunts and boots!!
dwd,
When you say backcountry........What does that entail for you? Backpacking,Pack in or daily hike from truck or camp???? I've always gone with the lightest boot I could get 2.0 - 3.5 lbs PER PAIRwith between 200-800 grms of insulation depending on time of year. Withmultiple sizedlugsnot too close together and if it doesn't say Gortex don't waste your money!!!! If your backpacking these will be the only bootsyou have!!!
Danner Pronghorns fit here among others.
Also a good idea to wear ankle weights around work and while hiking.I do this starting a coulpe of months out along with regular workouts.
