i live in south west indiana last year with regular boots my feet froze so bad i had to stop hunting mid way through the gun seasonso i am buying a par of insulated hunting boots
what wieght do i need 200 to 400 400 to 800 or 1000 plus
it gets cold here usasly not under 5 or so most of the time it is like 15 to 30
I live right up 64 from you near Louisville, I have a variety of weights to accomodate my situation:
1) 200 gram pacs for temps down to 30
2) 800 gram for temps from 30-0
3) "Bunny Boots" for temps under zero
I also have heated footbeds for those especially frosty days, and Arctic Shield boot blankets for treestand hunting, and Ihave various types of socks and insoles. Most of my hunting is done on the ground, usually from a blind, contact with the ground can drain the heat from your feet quickly.You can't depend on a single type of footwear for all situations, a boot that keeps your feet warm at zero will make your feet sweat at higher temps or while hiking to your stand/blind, which will make them feel colder.
