When I first started Wildland firefighting I bought a set of Chippewa boots because they fit incredibly well. However, they did not have the aggressive sole.

I still have them, probably 30 years old now and they fit great. Thanks for reminding me I should dig them out and wear them on the Flatlands when I'm not in West Virginia.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
