In this video we go over some of our favorite backcountry hunting boots. There is no perfect boot, and often different boots shine in different situations. We weigh the pros and cons of different boots and the best times to wear them. We also drop a few knowledge bombs that will help your feet in the backcountry.
We discuss the Hanwag Alaska GTX, Lowa Tibet, Crispi Nevada GTX insulated and un-insulated, Crispi Guide GTX, Crispi Laponia II, and Solamon Quest 4d.

Great video. I'm kinda new into the boot buying at 49 years old. For years I have had my Merrells and for cold deer season here in Missouri I would wear some old Sorel boots but a couple years ago I decided to stop into my local Scheels and look at boots. I only had a bout a $250 budget so I bought some Danner Pronghorn 800g which have been great but that day there was a guy buying Crispi boots for his Elk hunt and we got to talking. I had never heard of them and he was telling me that's all he buys now. They were about a $100 or more higher so out of my budget at the time but now I'm wanting to try some. I agree, at my age now I've realized if your foot gear isn't right it can make for a horrible hunting experience. We recently hunted a new land that was a 2+ mile hike in with a 250ft rocky climb from the start for the first half mile. It was kind of warm so I decided to wear my Merrel hikers. Big mistake. They had too much flex. Feet, ankles, knees, hips and back were crying...lol

Haha man thats such a bummer! I have loved the crispi boots that i've tried. The down side to all the top tier boots is how much they cost. That's a brutal hike in rocky terrain and can't imagine the pain from hyper mobile boots!

Great info! Good to understand the impact bad support/fitment can have from a chiropractic's perspective. Thanks for the tip on the socks too. I've struggled to find a good sock for cold, hot, wet conditions.

@@huntfixd9039 on your backpack review, I'd be interested to see how you adjust the straps on your backpacks. I've always struggled getting them just right.

@@bossdadadventureguide4277 good call on that. I recently picked up a Tenzing backpack and like all packs it's got the tension adjustments on the arm straps but then I noticed it had additional adjustment straps right up at the top that you could pull tighter to actually lift the pack higher up on your shoulders or back. Made a big difference crying the load. I've never had a pack like that. Wish more had them. Helped my lower back.

I wish you had zoomed in to every pair when talking about it so we could enjoy looking at the boots. You can barely see them from that distance.

That's a great idea that we should start doing with all our gear reviews, thank you for the feedback and we'll make sure to start doing that!

I feel bad for the one guy, he didn't a real chance to talk. The other guy needed to let him talk. Other than that great review
