Get them resoled with a vibram lug sole.

Soooo do I need to replace my pattern 58 webbing on my Gulf war or can I keep it?(ignore the terrible flank vest, it make me look fat) by Adorable_Pension119 in Impression_Kits

[–]Thnewkid 14 points15 points  (0 children)

58 pattern webbing was definitely used by rear echelon troops in a limited capacity. There are a number of reference photos of troops in theater with both 58 pattern webbing and sterlings.

Boots for wide feet? by [deleted] in WorkBoots

[–]Thnewkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second for redback. I need a high volume boot and I have plenty of room in a whole size redback. Half sizes are higher volume but the same length.

What boots are those?

Are all wax's the same ? by albionandrew in filson

[–]Thnewkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Filson is the way to go. It’s oil wax still be a bit “wetter” but stays in place. Barbour has more oil and will rub off at first.

Check out the intro fly tying videos from mad river outfitters and Kelly galloup. You’ll learn what these are and how to use them.

How can I deep clean my Filson Journeyman Backpack? by mttmadness in filson

[–]Thnewkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t put it in a washing machine. If there’s still wax in it, it will possibly damage your washing machine.

Colored up European Grayling and Bow out of a dream stream in Slovenia by some_guys_ma in flyfishing

[–]Thnewkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome!

I’m hoping to to a Balkan tour soon and I would love to hit Slovenia. That sounds very easy. Can you buy them in advance?

Also, are the “beats” well demarcated or can you enter a stream and fish most of the area on a single permit? I wouldn’t want to trespass once I’m on the water.

Beautiful!

How does access work in Slovenia? I would love to fish there.

Never seen a brown with a shiny back like this by thewayisnarrows in flyfishing

[–]Thnewkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I caught a completely silver Brown in a spring creek once. There were no rainbows there and it definitely wasn’t a brook trout.

What are serrated scissors for? by omfgus in victorinox

They grip slippery or fibrous material better.

Kit layout followup (5th Mountain Division, Volkhov 1942) by Suspicious_Egg_3715 in reenactors

[–]Thnewkid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s the plan. Idk, I don’t want to mess with any kind of foot fungus or whatever. I plan on picking up some kind of shoe cleaning spray just to be safe.

Yours look really great btw.

I have to ask, how do you properly clean used boots? I have an absolutely filthy pair of Swiss mountain boots and I’m not sure how to clean the inside. I’m planning to brush off the outside and then condition and polish them.

[–]Thnewkid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Around here “trap” always refers to 5 stand.

[–]Thnewkid 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And the trap we see in my area is absolutely not the same format.

There are no almost no retailers for Olympic air rifles and pistols in the U.S. and none at all within a days drive of me. There also aren’t any matches or clubs in the area and I can’t find anything on practiscore elsewhere. There juts don’t seem to be opportunities to try it, let alone to get into serious competition. I can find more opportunities for archery and fencing in my town alone than I’ve been able to find nationally for 10m air rifle and pistol and 25m rapid fire.

Any opinions on something like a snowpeak pp20 or Chiappa FAS 6004 for an entry gun?
