@pyro1047 2 ай бұрын

@@NonLegitNation2According to another comment that listed which Season and Episode each segment came from, and the date they released on. The segment about the FF boots was from S3E11 released on Dec 30th, 2003. And yeah, I've got 2 pair of military surplus never issued USMC RAT Boots both of which have GORE-GEX liners; and while the Danner ones only cost me $80+ and the Wellco ones I bought a year-year½ later around $60-70ish that's only because the military was just surplusing out old inventory that'd sat in warehouses for a decade and never been issued. While the model of my RAT boots are sadly out of production, Danner still make an updated/newer variant of it in addition to making various other types/models of Combat Boots; and from Danner directly, brand new straight from their website they're all AT LEAST $400 and up to $500+ for Combat and Tactical Boots depending on model, variation, optional pieces and features picked, etc. (Another reason I think my Danners were so cheap besides being surplus and around 10yrs old is Sportsmans Guide listed them as "Wellco USMC RAT Combat Boots", so they probably bought in bulk straight from the military when they all got surplused and after seeing Wellco after Wellco didn't realize some Danners were included otherwise I suspect they'd of been a bit priceyer). My 2nd pair I bought was from a different site as I was broke and they were $20-ish cheaper there, and I got an actual pair of "Wellco" USMC RAT Boots but besides looking slightly different are essentially the exact same boot; Though I prefer my Danners which have some slight differences and definitely look/feel higher quality (Like being darker overall, while the Wellcos are a lighter almost khaki shade in some of the leather pieces, and the Danners have a more shallow curve to the toe which peaks over your big toe whereas the Wellcos are a lot more rounded at the toe), overall though for practical purposes they're basicallythe same and both will get the job done. ( The most disappointing thing however was I thought the Danners felt slightly too big, so when I bought the second pair I chose a half size smaller, but being a different manufacturer the Wellcos feel slightly tighter than they should for "Properly" sized and laced boots. But who knows, maybe if I just try working them in extra hard and rough (The Wellcos) they'll stretch and soften enough to end up fitting just fine.)

im a factory worker myself (not for any of these things though) and i can recognize instantly the insane level of skill all the workers shown during the boot episode have. all of them are doing intensive + repetive physical labor that requires remembering a LOT of very specific information and all of them were SO FAST. very clear that theyre experienced, dedicated & strong factory workers!! theyre amazing!

Residential fire hydrants don't supply 1,500 gallons per minute, that is entirely a function of the water main, depending on size. Hydrants generally flow between 500 to 3000 gallons per minute depending on the size of the main and the water pressure. There's generally no difference between a residential area hydrant or one in an industrial area.
