Wet Cold/ Dry Cold?

Wellies, is that what they are called over there. These are superb mate, you can even go sking with these and when the wet snow comes you will love them.

Sorel boots? It's what most people around here who spend alot of time in the snow use for relaxing their feet (you need proper mountaineering boots for anything technical). They're originally canadian, and I think are used by mushers originally(I think that's their names, the guys that drive dog sleds) but eveybody who spends time outdoors in the cold has a pair! You can get them in any sort of warmth and they're really comfy)

That's what they look like typically:

Hi...

That boot is in 2 versions. One who keeps you warm down to -40 C and another who keeps you warm to -93 C!!! :shock:

THE best application of wellies is to fill them with custard and see how far you can throw them.

or you can use then like welsh sheep farmers do! :yikes:

Having said that a lot of native peoples in northern canadian were then in the summer months and they were very popular among the hill farms and nomadic groups in bosnia during the war so vanity aside they might be worth looking into.

-93 was that on a link the viking?

Hi...

No, sorry. Me being dumb! :roll: The boot "Snow king" keeps you warm to -93 degree C and the boot Adirondack keeps warm to -40 degree C. :biggthump

I have Steger Mukluks. They are superb up to 20 degrees. Above that and wet conditions will soak them. Sorels are my second choice for variable temps. Mickey Mouse boots are horrible. They were designed to keep feet warm while operatiing machinery or very short walks. Walking any distance whatsoever is utterly impossible. BTDT.

Cheers Chris I think you confirmed my suspicions - I guess Sorel/mukluk combo would be the thing with woollen socks and felt liners for both!

Thanks guys for all your input. :You_Rock_

That combination would set you through most eventualities - how will you be moving? Snowshoes or skidoo's?

ermm I think skiing and the odd stretch of hitching - not sure really still planning it all.
