  1. Zamberlan for the win. IMO of course 🍻🇨🇦👍🏻

  2. 1 gm on the foot is the same as 5 gms on the back for energy expenditure while moving. If you are going to low height and have good ankles and not a clutz on the hill get some light weight flexible one part leather boots and you only need a rubber buffer on the toe cap. For hunting and doing it quietly..

  4. After you told us the weights, unless we had the same shape of foot as you, the rest of the video was a complete waste of time! Thanks.
