While these boots are very similar, I felt they deserved more than a notable mention. As a result, much of the article will be nearly identical…

If you wear boots a lot and your feet, knees and back hurt, it is a safe bet to look at your footwear first to find relief. Especially if you wear budget footwear.

Survival Frog Fire Laces Reviewed

Posted on Nov 21, 2015

Many preppers and survivalists have long since replaced their bootlaces with paracord. You can always tell because the ends of the laces are melted to keep the fibers from unraveling instead of factory-produced ends.

So let’s have a closer look…

Danner Desert TFX Mojave Military Boot Reviewed

Posted on Jan 16, 2015

When it comes to survival, one clothing item that is all too often overlooked is a good pair of boots. Not cheap boots, good boots. I’ve had my share of cheap boots, and I’ve had some high-end boots that were actually quite expensive. In my experience, a huge disparity between their quality exists.
