Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Sandals vs Crocs

well happy birthday NV.....

some men don't have to wear boots on their feet to feel manly....or any guilt about it...

but some men like to wear Crocks to feel feminine evidently... not saying that is you....

but a man wearing crocks, is sort of like the same as being a Male and driving a Prius....

Aces, you might try some slides instead of the "thongs" as we used to call them (that word has a newer meaning for sure)

I'd love moving to Hawai'i if we could afford it. Go do business in shorts, a Hawai'ian shirt, and a pair of flip flops. No need for suits and ties.

Crap, I seem to have forgotten the Devils Club in SE AK.

Now there's some fun stuff.

My tender feet loved Juneau, sandals and barefoot 8 months a year. In AK.

It looks pretty clear of all that shyt you mentioned around your yard. Mine isn't and there's rarely a day I stay in the yard/around the house unless I'm sick. After taking the dogs for a walk this morning, I changed the tires on my trailer { old tires off rims, new tires on rims} brought out two loads of wood and have been splitting/stacking off and on all day.

Not in my yard and not those species except for the rose in places.

But, I've lived in so many places across the US, including NW PA probably only a few hours drive from where you are, to have seen just about everything.

Including having grown up and fooled around in, hunted and hiked in, crawled through, over and around chaparral. One place was so thick the 5 or 6 of us had have one guy jump up on top, the next guy jump up on him, and so on for nearly a 1/4 mile. They invented these things called chaps for horsemen to wear while going though it, and they even had coverings for their horses. Besides having to deal with the brush, there are plenty of rattlers in that country, scorpions, and whatever else lives in that crap. Chupacabras for all I know.

If you have that stuff all around your yard, and are happy with it being there, by all means continue to live like that. Around here, because of fire, I have at least 40' of cleared space, beyond the lawn, cut down to 4" or less just to be safe. On the other side of our creek, the other lot we own, there is a Big Sage thicket. The easiest way through that is following the deer/cattle trails. Some of it is over 6' tall, and while not thorny, it's pretty tough and not easy to push through. But, that being said, when I walk the dogs around out there I don't change my attire, I just follow the paths.

Montana, Idaho, and Washington have some places a man wouldn't want to walk through by choice too. I've seen them personally.

Another Blackfart is the ultimate badass thread.
Lol

So, why the F*ck are you wearing boots 24/7/365 then?

Hold into the bramble!

It's called living in the country with a country lifestyle dumbass. I don't live in town or a posh suburban community. I live on a country road in the woods and burn wood for heat during the long winters so spend a good bit of time putting it up over the summers. I also live here so that I have hunting, shooting and fishing close by year round and can partake of it often.

What part of my yard is surrounded by brambles and multiflora rose was it that you missed ? You think I stay indoors, on pavement or in the yard all day and don't do any work ? Damn, you are stupid.

So this is a thread about the best footwear for your yard?

I forget, did the OP ask about the best footwear for brambles in NY?

VD….(I don’t like that abbreviation 😁)….Valsdad, I am most definitely a child of the wet PNW. I like cool weather, rain and days that never get above 75*. I hate not wearing my merino wool socks with my boots or Romeos, I absolutely detest wearing shorts and flip flops and slides are barbaric and I miss my Xtra-Tufs. I wear my Wranglers, boots and merino wool everywhere INCLUDING Hawaii. It used to drive my wife nuts but I’m not comfortable being “over-exposed”. 😂. I spent my life on swim teams, as a lifeguard and rescue diver so I should be more accustomed to wearing beachwear but it was always just a uniform for work while jeans and flannel were for fun. I wish I could transition easier but at 51 I quit trying and embrace my preferences.

All my best to you my friend.

Next we are gonna find out how tough it is living in New York and how rural he is.

He asked crocs or sandals, which are both good womens footwear for around town.

We could hear how it's possible to become morbidly obese while working your ass off all day but you don't seem very open to it.

My lawn is about an acre and a half Geno. It's nice green grass, I keep it well maintained and it's way more than 40 feet to the edge where the brush and brambles grow so no danger from fire. You just ain't leaving the yard except off the front along the road without going through brush/thorns unless on the four wheeler trail that goes into the woods. I have no intention of ever clearing those blackberries out because they are good producers and my wife uses them for pies and blackberry jam every summer.

You'd have to have a dam big well to have an Acre and a half lawn here. Having lived close enough to you to know that folks there think two weeks without a rainshower is a "drought", I've seen folks with those kind of yards. Told my buddy at work back there if I had as much grass as he did, I'd have to get a cow, because I ain't spending that much time on a mower every week.
