lvmiker...You ever trek up Lone Mountain when you have a little bit of time and you want to get in some vertical elevation gain...? If you mean the Lone Mountain here in LV , yes a bunch of times. When I was w/ LVMPD SAR one of the 1st test for aspirant volunteers was a stroll to the top w/ a 30 lb pack. Piece of cake until the temps reached>100*. Many came, few remained. mike r

Brand new pair of Altra Lone Peak 4.0 trail running shoes. This is my 3rd pair of Lone Peaks and they are the best shoe I have ever had. I will take them to the mountains tomorrow and get them dusty.
mike r Better order a couple extra pair. IME, they will stop making them soon! I had a hard time getting these in size 10.5, They only had 1 color choice. I probably should have bought a couple more. Reviews on the 4.5 are mixed. mike r

Just got home from work and still in my work boots. Wool socks and Thorogood wedge sole lace ups.
Just because you're offended doesn't mean your right.

I’ve done it a bunch too. But NOT in triple digit heat. I’ll pass. I’ve done Turtlehead Peak a bunch too. I LOVE Red Rock Canyon and have done a great deal of climbin’ and hikin’ there. I’m very familiar with that place. That’s where I spend most of my time when I’m out there. I like to climb and hike in Valley of Fire too. And for a change of pace, I like to go down to Laughlin and use it as a base to operate out of to climb and hike in that area. But NOT in the Summer. I like southern Nevada best between the middle of October and early March.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

...Right now just a pair of wool blend heavyweight socks that I get at Runnings Home, Farm & Outdoor Center. They are an official Browning, ( yeah; that Browning) licensed product with the Browning logo on the side. Got some on sale awhile back and liked them so much I got more. Was running around in the woods with my Muck boots this afternoon and took the boots off before coming inside but the socks are so comfy I left 'em on.

Nothing.
If I was doing something worthwhile, Hanes and Red wing Oxfords.
Embarrassed about the Oxfords, but after an Achilles injury I ignored
for too long, i have a knot of scar tissue. Wearing any shoe that touches
it soon becomes excruciating.
Bought my wife a bunch of Darn Tough socks, she loves them.
She looked at some type at 8/$80 and said they were too expensive!
She has no idea what I paid for hers. Good thing!
No way I would pony up that much for my own socks though.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Moose hide moccasins. Though the last pair I’ll likely have. The old Indian woman who did them for me passed last year and I have no moose hunt planned this year.
