I have a rule when hunting solo. If it looks a bit dodgy, find a safer way. If this is not possible then turn around. It's not worth the risk.

I love going in solo, 2 people tend to make 3 times the noise as 1 person solo does. Always carry a PLB and now an inreach as well. I love the feeling of isolation, it goes a long way to delete any...

Just done 2 days in Kaharangi in my Salewa Rapace 22km and around 1600m of ascent, this is shale and karst country. I wear these boots on every trip now and a year in they are holding up well so far.

Plus 1 for the grisports. Cheap and rubbish for workbooks but they seem to stand up for hunting and tramping, nice and grippy with good support. Had these ones for a few years, they've only done a...

I’m sure everyone will have their favourites and I think it probably comes down to what hunting you do and more importantly how you treat the boots after each hunt. I wash my boots after each trip...

Meant to also say that being able to try on several makes and models in the shop and then trial them at home inside for a week or so helped me settle on the Scarpa. I wanted to like the Salomon Quest...

Andrew Antelao's are super strong, stitched soles rugged as & have been awesome for me..... BUT the downsides are they are HEAVY & expensive!

Love my Lowa Tibets. They're not the lightest but I've also never thought they were too heavy. Live my normal life in steel caps.

I've been using lowa rangers for the last 15 years. Not as heavy as the Tibets and still take a hiding.

See if the lastrite boots made in Nz will fit the bill. They are not extremely comfortable but they are tough. Soles sewn and screwed on. I got them because I was sick of my boot’s talking back to...
