    I'm gonna have to get something different than my Carhartts. I have the Arctic Wear. Or they changed the name. Think it's Extreme Wear now. They're cordura nylon. That just melts in fire.

    I’m not gonna be any help on that. I got a pair of boots I bought at Wal Mart 2 years ago and baffins this winter. I’ve heard Muck, Red Wing, Ariat and everything in between.

    I'll have to ask them and think for myself. There are those slip on giloshes type steel toes. Put them over a boot. Might work with my 1200 grm insulated in winter?

    For some reason. Irish Setters really work for me. Otherwise the 1200 grm insulated are Cabelas White Tail boots. They work good.

    Definitely face mask. I also have a pair of ski goggles. Bought them to unload pneumatic tanker in Dickinson ND (flour). They'll work in Wyo.

    Thanks.... Think I saw those and a higher top pair that were waterproof. I like Keens. Have had Keens. I've had issues with my feet. Actually best for me is no heel or negative heel. The Irish Setters seem to be flat enough to not bother me.
    Also one big thing. I bought a pair of do it yourself custom orthotics. They're actually just a custom fit to your foot. I wear those in my Irish Setters. Keens might work good with my custom orthotics. Those things don't cost much. Just boil them. Then fit them to your foot. Works really good. Works without pulling the existing foot bed in the boot.
