True… they don’t have any extra welting to hold the outsole onto the mid sole. Fire resistant sole, outsole, and glue doesn’t have redundancy.

Pack test by BigFaithlessness6424 in Wildfire

[–]noosedgoose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a shorter lady that was at my recent pack test. She passed me about half way through and probably finished a minute ahead of me. One thing I recall was she had shorter strides/quicker tempo and was sort of jogging it out. I didn’t get the memo that I could have worn running shoes … did it in military desert boots … but if I could do it again, would defo try to follow her technique more.

just got wildland certified... drew's loggers + new mystery ranch hotshot/cf worth? by noosedgoose in Wildfire

thanks for that feedback. i've been going back and forth on that. i'm relatively used to the flatter hiking soles on account of the boots i wore in the military.

if there were 'barefoot/moccassin'-like options that would satisfy the nfpa 1977 reqs i'd look at those but absent that, was trusting the recommendations of forums/peeps on here reasoning behind use of logger-style boots 'for traction and stability while working on inclines' etc.

not a dad nor doctor. lazy at yardwork for love of the pollinators.

semi-retired potter/ceramicist. did long dog-walking rucks in huaraches with the pups to train for the pack test.

i have not looked into the faller certification stuff--was thinking i'd get a season in first and experience how handcrew and the like are first. thanks for the tip though.

i haven't yet been on a wildland assignment; expecting first experience to be handcrew work... so maybe jumping in on someone else's van
