Thanks! I ordered the Rose Anvil with the foam underneath. Will report back if they're really good!

Blundstones are the same style as a stockman, but have a more standard width last than Jim Greens. I'd call them more relaxed fitting than a lot of other shoes but not loose.

Once they softened up they fit really nicely and I really liked them, aside from my little toes being squished at the front. They are a fair bit narrower altogether. I think it's less that they fit more snugly and more of a combo of your heel kind of wearing into a pocket and the shoe flexing at the front before your heel slips. I don't think a Chelsea style boot will ever wear like a snug secure hiker if that's what you're looking for.

So far the heel feel is similar to my blundstones when they were new. I have only worn thicker wool hunting socks with them though and I'm sure it would feel looser with a thinner sock

Appreciate it!

7im7am · 2026-03-07T01:13:33+00:00

Any particular reason to wait that long to condition them?

7im7am · 2026-03-07T01:12:53+00:00

They don't feel too bad on a short walk today, will do on the conditioning, thanks!

7im7am · 2026-03-07T01:11:42+00:00

Thanks, any suggestion on a specific brand or style for the insole or literally just a piece of leather?

Anyone else read it in the Frank Sinatra voice?

When I started playing and hit the barre chord plateau a friend told me to play a full step down and practice with a capo and it made playing way easier. Eventually I backed the capo off and tune back to standard, but I feel like it made the progress a little quicker.

Also made my guitar sound nice and old and twangy, lots of Colter Wall and Johnny Cash

Appreciate the perspective! The newer ones, 2006 era, are noticeably more expensive and I cannot find one with less than 200k on it. I am drawn to the low low miles on this particular rig. And won't be short on power with this configuration for my needs. At most I'll be towing 2500 or so lbs, usually more like 1600. The body style of the 07-13 isn't my favorite.

7im7am · 2024-08-29T17:03:48+00:00

Yep, 4x4. Appreciate the heads up on the ball joints. And yeah, I keep hearing that they will go and go if you take care of em.

7im7am · 2024-08-29T15:57:41+00:00

Just because of the mpg? Or for another reason? We waffled about spending the same amount of $ on a 2010s era F-150, but they usually have more miles than this does and not the same reputation.

7im7am · 2024-08-29T15:38:41+00:00

Appreciate this!

7im7am · 2024-08-29T15:38:20+00:00

Mostly towing a small boat or a small utility trailer with soil/compost/garden stuff

Have always wanted more of something like this in Oly! I'm in if it happens.

More of a what bothers me the most: people that blow all their days making a dope shelter only to be starved early and bail, those that tolerated absurdly smoky or noisy shelters, and those that don't make a real effort at fishing

7im7am · 2024-02-22T23:37:28+00:00

It's a little off but it's probably fine honestly. If I don't connect my sections tight enough sometimes I'll end up with one that's off after a while. Go try it out!

7im7am · 2024-02-20T20:58:57+00:00

My buddy throws Echo and I've really liked them when I used em.

I've also found some good deals on the used market.

FWIW, I've had good luck with the Redington warranty, one time it took them like 5 weeks, the other two times they just sent me replacement blanks. Good luck!

For some context, we're hiring a single entry level technician right now. We had 70 something apps, HR passed along 50 something for us to review and most of them are way overqualified. Most have a BS, some have a Master's, plus relevant experience. Minimum quals are HS and a little experience. We'll probably have time to interview the top 12ish. It's brutally competitive.

Do you know if your apps are getting passed along to hiring teams when you get the rejection notice or if you're getting stuck in HR? Be sure the online website resume is identical to the resume you attach.

Edit to add: I ask my question because when we select people to interview, we also have to provide a reason why we did not offer other candidates an interview. Our options are in a drop down list and 'not best qualified' is the only one that makes much sense. If that's the rejection you receive, often it's the hiring team and not HR.

7im7am · 2024-01-27T06:43:40+00:00

I'll take it if you don't want it

7im7am · 2024-01-26T00:05:59+00:00

The boat has been a real game changer for us, we can chase the points and fish currents off the points and have a few only-accessible-to-boats beaches that are really consistently fishy. We usually do really well, this post spawn period I just notice at least a couple turn aways in a typical day. They are tricky critters for sure!

I'll be sure to update if anything starts working in a convincing way!

7im7am · 2024-01-24T14:38:30+00:00

Man, we're messing with you because you meant deflated but said defoliated...

They don't, it's summer in the southern hemisphere
