The Basics of Selecting a Tactical Boot
If you’ve been in Law Enforcement or the Military there’s a good chance you’ve likely tried out more than one Tactical boot. Maybe you found that you didn’t know your true boot size or perhaps the boots fell apart after a short amount of use. In any case it’s good to garner more information on boots. […]
Propper International Series 300 Boots
This past summer we had our own USMC Veteran and current wildland firefighter Travis Pike perform an extensive testing cycle on the Propper International Series 100 boots. So when Propper International reached out and asked if I wanted to test out their 300 Series boots I knew that I was going to be testing a quality […]
Rocking my Merrell Moab 2 boots
The photo above is a picture of me while I was traveling around the Southwest. Among hoarding gear, my recreational hobbies include photography and hanging out in precarious places. After all, what is the point in having nice gear if you don’t ever put it to use? I prefer to hit the trails in the […]
Get a grip with the Astral TR1 Merge boots

The Altama Maritime Assault boots come in two heights and I opted for the […]
Sheriff of Baghdad Boot Kit – Lace ’em up!
My biggest problem when I go on long distance hikes isn’t the weight of my pack or the hot spots on my heels, it’s the annoyance of constantly tying up my laces! Luckily, the fine folks at SOB Tactical, led by John McPhee, have developed just the solution to this aggravating problem. The Sheriff of […]
Asolo Fugitive GTX Boots: Combat Tested
I’ve tried several boots in the past few years and I always seem to get the same brands: Asolo, Lowa and La Sportiva. In the past 3 years though, I’ve worn the Asolo Fugitive GTX. The boots are tough, keep your feet dry and are comfortable even when you are carrying a heavy ruck. The […]
Thermacell Heated Insoles
We finally got a stretch of weather here in the Pacific Northwest worthy of being called winter. Still mild by the standard of bearded northmen, but cold enough I finally got to put Thermacell’s Proflex Heavy Duty heated insoles to use. Thermacell has a pretty neat setup here. The padded Li-Ion batteries fit in the […]
