Lacrosse Aerohead boots. Best knee high rubber boot I ever owned.
New this fall and with about 60 miles on them can say I would honestly wear them everyday.

Good to hear you like them. I am looking to replace my Mucks and these are on my list to check out.

I would still look at the older alpha burly's. They are about the only ALL rubber lacrosse boots left. The neoprene is nice but it will rip from sticks. I just bought another pair to replace my old ones. I had them for 8 years and would wear them hunting and every day in winter, to walk my dog and shed hunt after work. I bet I honestly got close to 800 miles out of them. The best boot out their in my opinion.

I have an older pair of Alpha Burly's and a pair of Muck Woody Max. They are both pretty much destroyed and patched up numerous times. I am really hard on boots for some reason and haven't found a good pair of rubber boots yet that hold up. Punctures seem to be my biggest problem on rubber and neoprene.
Gonna have to start up a rubber boot thread.

The new aeroheads I are not rubber but similar to neoprene. I have (2) old pair of alpha burleys and they were good boots but the aerheads outshine in weight and comfort. The sole is amazing.
When going thru mainly wooded terrain I wear my pants over the boots. Can't comment on how sticks/brush will affect them.

. They actually make great boots no matter what model you pick.

Yes I tried them on. They are lighter, just thought the all rubber seemed more durable for punctures which is important to me being in the marsh. Wet feet in November is never fun. They actually make great boots no matter what model you pick.

Re: Must HAVE equipment
Which do you guys like more, Merino wool or Under Armour? I've been using under armor the past few years but just picked up some merino wool. Does it have to be the base layer to work or just anyone of your layers?
I use a Fenix PD35 as my flashlight. Picked it up on ebay for around $50 and honestly couldn't be happier. We blood trailed a deer last month and they were amazed at the light it threw off. Wish I would have gone one sooner.

1. Merino wool
2. Buck knife
3. Wicked Gear Handsaw
4. LW Alpha/sticks
5. Fleece or merino wool balaclava
Anyone got a recommendation on hand held light.....

I'd recommend this flashlight to anyone. I know there's plenty of options out there, but this thing is great. Inexpensive, bright as ..120 lumens, pocket clip. Momentary switch (you can tap or blip, if you will) which is necessary for a hunting light if you ask me. I have one in my Swat vest and liked it so much I bought one for my hunting pack, too.

Re: Must HAVE equipment
Bucky, I have a Browning Hunt Master hand held light. Super bright, about 7" long with wide lens end that is adjustable . Plenty light to track a buck . Got it at Gander and it wasn't cheap but is so bright I won't go an evening hunt without it. It says ANSI 300L which I believe is the Lumen brightness.

I think merino works best as the primary base layer with other layers over it as needed. It even works great when wet too

Re: Must HAVE equipment
1. GWW Wools
2. GWW wolfskin suits
3. Kenetrek Northern Pac Boots
4. LW Sit & Climb with flip seat
5. Cheap(ish) fleece balaclava (I bought two they're so good)
I could pretty much replace anything else with something "similar". The above, I'd replace with the originals if at all possible.

Agreed. Merino wool all the way. Use it as a base layer and it will keep you dry and warm. I gave my UA away after a couple seasons wearing merino wool.
