It's at age 66 that he will suffer the worst effects. Warm him.

Don't do it your feet will thank you later in life.

"warn"

Bekina are soft with amazing grip,but changed to dunlop now much the same boot but cheaper.Live in gumboots.

Agree on dunlops, forum member put me onto em , more comfortable for my duck feet than skellerups
Will I hunt with em , yes I do , within 200m of vehicle
M8 buy proper boots , or end up with flippers like I got , wider than they long

There are threads and threads on Buller gumboots for hunting. Had supply issues so changed to leather which have advanced a lot since the dsys of John Bulls, Anson D rings and Paraflex.

I thought you guys put the sheeps back legs down your gumboots to stop them getting away...
