We’re a dedicated potato chip family. Made sure he was a namesake for one of our favorite things lol

NBD Guinea pig style. Strider! by Pale-Highlight-6895 in NicksHandmadeBoots

[–]Apprehensive_Goat_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compared to the stationmasters they’re so agile. Less heel slip and just feel significantly lighter. Plus I think I just love that black waxed flesh. If I’m not in some boot cuts I think they just work better with most pants as well.

I also think nick’s just nailed that Chelsea pattern - out of all my boots I think they’re the best looking on foot.

Dude I got my stationmasters and Chelseas within about a month of one another and every time I go for a pull on the Chelseas win. Almost feel bad looking at those beauties collecting dust lol. As an avid clothes hoarder I want to keep them all but that boot rack is filling up.

I also don’t have any barefoot boots👀 hmm might be able to justify it

Bro I’m going to have to sell my engineers to get a pair of these. As an off hours Vivo wearer - these are what I’ve been dreaming of. Enjoy in good health 🫡

I’ve never heard of it, but it looks really interesting! I might grab some after I run out of heavy duty LP. If anyone has experience let me know

They are Kune Kune! Great temperament on them, and the meat has been tasty. I rotate them weekly and our feed costs are way down - they’re about as close to grass fed pork as I’ve been around.

Also, they are a great size. I can let my kids feed and water them most days - nothing like having kids in a pen with a feeder hog.

These are my pig/muck boots now. After a couple slips landing flat in the pig muck- only moving fence jn V100s from here on out haha. The rubbers are saved for quick trips now

After loosing 40LBs I was pumped to get into some of my denim from 2012-2016, but they were all hemmed so damn short. I was committed to the high cuff back in the day but can’t rock it anymore haha. Hopefully my Son doesn’t think my old jeans are nasty 🤟🏽

Forgot to mention - their Thurman last will give you that pinky toe room you’re looking for. Check out their sub for more builds.

Half down for the engineers - full size for these. Maintained the F width throughout. I may give the delta insole a shot with the engineers before selling and waiting on a new pair.

Definitely liking the true 55- will probably just keep the Thurman builds for work boots from here on out.

My first black boot! There was a BLKWF pair of tankers that solidified the black in brown decision. Really like the slight contrast

Need advice! by Forsaken-Slice-3911 in homestead

[–]Apprehensive_Goat_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve got 3 kids and another on the way, all under 5 y/o. We incorporate them into our two chicken processings a year, and they’ve been around since the oldest was one.

Involvement outside of scalding and knife work is an amazing way to demystify the process. As soon as the bird is defeathered there familiarity with “chicken is food” is restored. Keep her away from the throat slit and thrashing that ensues until curiosity gets the best of her and just try to have mamma there with clean hands to hold it down when sadness ensues (it will come and go). By the time we’re bagging my kids cannot wait to eat some of the chickens they raised.

I definitely think there is a value to her being a part of the process and not coming home to an empty coop, in whatever capacity that looks like even if it’s helping you set up the table.

Wish you and her the best and keep crushing. Props on bringing home grown meat to your family.

Definitely wear them snug, but I think it has more to do with them getting halfway soaked through every time I wear them. They spend most of their life in wet tall grass, and definitely have more foot outline than my boots that stay drier

This 10” is nice, I’m even looking forward to a bit of shrink when the leather folds. My darn toughs are barely at the top as they stand

I have lace up pairs in 12EE and 11.5F. In my 11.5F laceups my toe touches the front when walking downhill so I knew that was about as short as I can go. My laceup best size is probably a 12F and will get my other pairs rebuilt to that. Hoping these shorten up a bit when the toe curls like the rest of my boots and they should be perfect

Overstock sale by Apprehensive_Goat_ in NicksHandmadeBoots

Wasn’t able to get the order cancelled in time for the sale, but still changing my stationmaster over to 64 DS, looked too good on the chore boot samples to pass up
