In fact, I did miles and miles of pack training with them on and didn't have a single issue with blisters or hot spots. On days when we knew we didn't need the waders we would still use the Simms boots but would add a waterproof neoprene sock to take up the room the booty would when wearing the waders.

Worked like a champ.

Is that mosquitos all around yall or is it the lens dirty?


Not mosquitos but “whitesocks”.... little biting gnats. The head nets are in our hands and took them off for 10 seconds to take the picture and right back on they went. HAHA

I would advise anybody hunting in Alaska to bring a few headnets... they get misplaced and you definitely don’t want to be without one!

Once the sun crept over the mountain tops the bugs came with it
