I also like Meindl. Wish they could be a tad wider, but haven’t found any boots that are wider.

Have you tried the eurolight hunters? I also need a boot that's wide in the forefront with a roomy toebox and that model meets those requirements foe me.

My John Deere 4020.

If I have to explain it....you wouldn't understand.

I spent a couple weeks during winter break in college spreading manure on a no cab 4020. I paid half my tuition for spring semester and painted the back half of my jacket brown. I still liked that tractor.

My list is pretty short:
Ford trucks
Tony Llama
Richardson 112s

I haven't. I have the Denali's, but I have looked at (online) the Eurolight Hikers as I need a new pair of low-top hikers. I will have to get a pair and see how they fit.

Vivint home security system with exclusive Smart Deter technology cameras, engineered to intelligently identify and deter real threats, using light and sound to scare away lurkers before they become burglars.

Where did you get that reloading bench? I need one of those in my life....maybe two.

Awesome! What range and peak?

That is at the top of the Lhotse Face, Nepal.

That was the first acclimatizing push from base camp to 24,000 ish and back, so hadn’t had much time to acclimatize. So I added O2 at around 23,500.

Amazing! I would love to hear more about that climb!

Here's a picture of me after hitting 11,000 in the Wind River Range of Wyoming back in August. I left all of my O2 back at sea level three days earlier.

But, in reference to my earlier post about things I like, you can see my Osprey Aether backpack, the Outdoor Research Papyrus hat & my Darn Tough wool socks. I really like my Lowa boots too.

 

[Altitude sickness]

I have climbed 4 peaks over 20k and that climb and spending 5 weeks at extreme altitude is tough. But staying healthy is also a big struggle. It’s easy to get lung issues and intestinal issues.

But the worst part of that climb was all the tourist climbers. It’s a ridiculous tourist trap for climbers. 80% should not be allowed on that hill. Everyone understands the risks for avalanches, ice fall, weather, medical.

But dying because a tourist is collapsing or dying on the only route down is not a risk I would ever take again. (I’m too old and fat now anyway, and I promised my wife and daughter I would quit)

There are peaks over there with no one on them. And the permit is 100th the cost. Ama Dablam for instance. K2 etc, Annapurna

I like the Dragonfly pic.

I’ve climbed a fair amount of the 14rs and Yosemite without O2 issues. But have seen a lot my hunting partners laid low by Altitude issues.

Growing up in the swamps of south Louisiana, there were dragonflies everywhere & I thought they were cool. So their Latin classification of odonata became my alias as a computer programmer. But living my life at sea level is also the source of my nausea whenever I do any exertion at much lower altitudes than you've been climbing. The big problem is not having enough time to properly acclimate. When I used to pace friends in the Leadville 100 run, my brother & I would go mountain biking in Crested Butte for a week before in a (sometimes futile) attempt to improve our conditioning. I guess this is a good segue to say how much I like my Specialized StumpJumper too.
