Thread: Bush Huntin-Salomon Trail runners

To answer your question arouns weight and trail runners. Ive packed out two deer (boned out) 2-4 hours out in Kawekas and Kaimais. I do have a quality backpack (Exo Mtn Gear) with an excellent meat shelf - well balanced l
Pack. And I place my feet!

There is also a differencs in support between trail runners. I have a pair of Innov8 mudclaw (disco yellow) and they were too flimsy and the lugs wore too quickly. The Salomon Speedcross are much more robust in build and hold their shape. And much more cushion for the feet.

Ankle support. Depends on the person. I dont like boots/ankle support - ankles are strong/not prone to roll. I also use trekking poles on the mountains. In the bush I take the time to place my feet (quiet feet) under load as it stops injury. Also avoids sore feet from impact.

If your thinking about it - try a pair on a shorter hunt. The only thing Id suggest is use a pair with decent lugs for grip - as a flat tread won't be much fun in the wet.
