Back from when the NZHS FORUM was born

[akaroa1]

I just brought a new pair of full shank alpine boots
$680 on sale for $520
They will not be as good as the worn out hand made Italian ones they are replacing that are on order but a year away !

But even if they only last half as long ( days on hill, not calender years. As I slow down ! ) they will likely be ok value for money.

Once again assuming they get worn out.

Similarly anyone who wears out a rifle from hunting use rather than neglect will have had very good value for money.
