Well i guess i will have to invest in the rubber boots! Are they easy to walk in? some gum rubbers are very hard to walk in. My hunting closet is growing.
thanks.

We drove straight through from near Pitts burgh PA. It took us about 36 hours including the 6 hour ferry ride. It took 24 hours to North Sydney to catch the ferry.

Yes, get rubber boots. The LaCrosse Alpha Burleys are very light andcomfortable. They feel almost like wearing slippers. The only thing I did not like was, they seemed to be slippery when walking on wet logs or rocks.

Spend some time walking to get in shape before your hunt. Walking there is different than here. You sink in the ground with every step requiring you to lift your legs higher to take the next step. Then there is that black spruce. It has twisty narly roots and limbs that you constantly have to watch for so you don't trip.

You will have a great time I'll try to put some photos of the terrain on for you to see.

LaCrosse boots are good to walk in. That is all I wear when I hunt the north country. We have lots of wet boggy areas and deep snow so LaCrosse works well. The new styles are better for walking. It takes me 8 hours to go from my house in North Hero Vt.to Houlton Me and another 8 hours to get to the ferry at North Sydney NS. The crossing is 6 or 7 hours and then you are on the rock. In my case it is another 6 hours to the cabin.Good luck you will have a great time I am sure.
