Picture won't show. What'd you get? I'm still stongly considering a pair, I like the looks of the Macks breathable but am leaning towards reb's recommendation on the warranty on cabelas brand.


Cabelas. Boots fit me perfect ordered the same size as tennis shoe.

Did you get the 180 dollar ones or the 200 ones?


$200 I wanted the pockets. Really suprised there isn't 900 extra feet of material left over with my narrow ass in them. They are naturally big but tolerable.

Fuck it. I ordered em. Hope the 13s run regular like you said.

Really like the shoulder straps as well. Been picking at them and can't find a negative about them. They are a hair big in the boot, not near enough to matter with regular socks, but fit absolutely perfect with wool socks. So far $200 well spent.

I'm kind of picky about the shoulder straps, are they nylon or stretchy?

Uh oh. I may have made a mistake. Might be altering them before season.

I do wish the wading belt had belt loops to keep it on. You have to wrap it around yourself everytime and store it in one of the pockets when not in use.

Those shoulder straps should work. I just hate it when they fall off your shoulders all the time. On my neoprenes I had the wife sew on a separate nylon strap with a clip. Like on a hunting pack.

FA Eliminator Express, I hate that blind with a fucking passion. Not only is it not suitable for big guys (as my old man described it, just a bit smaller than a youth sized sleeping bag, shouldn't be a problem for you), it has to be about the worst designed blind of all time. My recommendation to you is to scrap the knee/gun rest and pull the conduit brackets out as the ends always seem to be rubbing on your calves. If you do that, you will basically have a Power Hunter without the lid. Still hate that thing.

It's a Cabelas blind, did they just rebadge the eliminator?

sent from a phancy fone


Nope. Missed that one entirely, first glance and the price (usually always see the FAs in the bargain cave for $89) caught me off-guard. Mobil 1 is a decent blind, actually for ease of use probably one of my favorites. Very simplistic design but still functional. Only downfall of the frameless blinds is they are a little harder to keep grassed, but other than that I think you'll be satisfied with it.

There were at least two others, if not three, in just brown at that same price. I just decided to get the Hawaii shirt camo

Lace it through the shoulder straps after the hunt. Then you will see for sure that you have it. If it falls out of the pocket, that will be the one time that you don't check, and it's sitting in the garage...

Old loafers were looking a little worse for the wear. Got a new pair of Air Force ones.

You can't be frat-tastic without loafers. It's like you guys don't know anything.

What are Air Force loafers? I'd be discharged before ever putting something like that on my feet.
