Everyone who owns a pair of Lowa boots will agree with me that they are one of the most durable and well-built boots on the market. I have been wearing my Lowa Elite Desert boots for two years now, and they have been through some serious beating. However, the sole and the boot itself are […]
I was in the market for a new pair of shoes when I spotted these browsing Instagram. I at first scrolled right past thinking they were another pair of black chucks, but upon closer inspection, these were a whole different animal. The Altama Maritime Assault boots come in two heights and I opted for the […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’m in Austin Texas at Bare Performance Nutrition and I felt it was fitting for this Tactical Tuesday to discuss our experiences about rucking over long distances. What kind of ruck to use. How to wear a ruck. What boots and socks to wear. – Nick Koumalatsos *Photo courtesy of Nick Koumalatsos Youtube channel
Winter is upon us and that means cold, wet and snowy conditions. If you’re like me, you don’t let the weather conditions stop you from enjoying the outdoors. I really enjoy winter day hikes. The scenery is beautiful, it’s generally pretty quiet and there are no damn bugs out flying around. You do however need […]
To a hunter, boots are an essential stuff. A good pair of boots provides good protection for our feet when we’re crossing rough terrains in the forest. They are also more durable than shoes, which allows more movements and higher pressure. So every hunter in the world always wants to have a perfect pair of […]
First off, I wanted to thank my bro Clayton for getting these boots for me, and I want to thank INOV-8 as well for sending us three pairs of boots and shoes to rate. So, let’s get into talking about this boot. In the short YouTube video I did a quick assessment of the boot […]
Merrell Shoes These Merrell‘s have been all over the world with me. I’ve worn them on sub-zero winter hikes in Colorado, hopping coal trains in Kansas, hitchhiking everywhere from highway 101 in California to mountain highways in Italy. I wore them in the hospital as my daughter was born, on the set of my first film, […]
After nearly 9 years of use, and two deployments I was beginning to worry about my boots. It wasn’t until I started feeling something rough and rigid poking through the bottoms of my boots I decided I really needed to upgrade. Propper has tossed me a pair of pants and I absolutely love them. I […]
