All great picks except the Vasque boots? Only because I've never heard of them.

Danners are the only hunting boots I'll buy! And while Shakespeare Ugly sticks may not be in the top 10 best fishing rods, they are the ONLY fishing rod that I've never been able to destroy. They are definitely my favorite catfishing rods!
And the Ruger RedHawk is by far the toughest double action revolvers ever built!

I'll also add Simms GuideWear Waders to the list. Toughest damn waders ever made!


I had a pair of Vasque that lasted a LONG time before they came apart.

Danners, though we don't have anything newer than likely 2002 or so, have fallen apart quite quickly, though they were very comfortable for my wife and she has asked for more, I"ve said I think next time she gets fitted HanWags like I have...

We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
