re: Best boots for cold?

In my experience, the amount of walking I'm gonna hafta do enters the equation. I'm one of them fellers that when my feets get cold, I get cold all over. I've got one stand where I don't hafta walk very far and I use a pair of those black arctic boots with the wool liner and thick wool socks. Feet have never got cold in them. For the long walks in and out or over rougher ground, my Rockies have stood the test of time. I always carry a couple of those chemical handwarmers, too. Feet start gettin cold, I slip one of them down in my boot or under my foot. Main thing is keepin your feets dry. Wet feets=cold feets. I've got one stand that is 8 feet off the ground on one side and 40 feet off the ground on the other. In the late season muzzle loader hunt that stand is COLD when the wind is coming up the holler to that bluff face and hittin me dead on. That's when I take a rolled up sleepin bag with me and I pull that sleepin bag up to my chest and me and my feets stay warm and toasty.
