Re: Footwear for Sheep
If you want an extra-ordinary boot fitting experience, head to AJ Brooks on Broadway, across from MEC. Plan on spending at least an hour there, and two hours is more than likely. They vocally support hunters and the military, and make no bones about it. Then you don't have to hold your nose at MEC, cause you can thumb it to them from across the street. While you are there, check out their external frame packs from Tatonka. Pretty heavy duty, I'd say.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause."
-Theodore Roosevelt France, 1910
