    Miendl Borneo (size 9)

    Legendary leather lined boots. I have had these for years and they have served me very well. However at the ripe old age of 48 my feet appear to be growing again and these are suddenly a bit tight! The usual scuffs & dinks in the leather you would expect in a pair of well used boots, but still...

    Lowa Trekker Boots (size 9)

    A well used pair of these leather lined (non goretex ) boots. Very comfortable, not particularly waterproof, but recently resoled with a genuine Lowa sole unit (£60). These boots are not available in the UK. They are the same ones used by Mr Mears in his Extreme Survival programme in the Rockie...

    Waxing desert boots?

    Mine still breath John, but if the grass has a bit of dew on it or you get a shower of rain, the water just rolls off rather than wetting out the suede. I have Seal-Skinz in my Bergen usually if the weather is really rough.

    Waxing desert boots?

    I tried to keep it just on the suede, some went on the fabric but I'm not that worried about how they look (more that they work for me). Santaman - I have boots for use in the mountains, duck boots for when its cold & wet, seal skin boots for dry-arid bush, I have used jungle boots, climbing...

    Waxing desert boots?

    I have, I used Kiwi Mid Tan shoe polish. I was working on the principle they did the same thing with "rough-out" boots. They now are waterproof enough for general everyday use. They are also easier to keep clean, when you spend your days doing firelighting & game prep demonstrations. I have the...

    Bergens & Smocks

    The Crusader is a top Bergen. Mr Mears used to use one (his "Tracks" stuff and his Extreme survival episode in Sweden). They are an ideal "all purpose" pack, with removable side pockets, large capacity but with lots of compression straps to shrink it to fit your load. An SFA fits nicely behind...
