Hand made boots. Nothing quite like them.
I have my boots made by Viberg up in Victoria BC. Returned my first pair logging boots after a few decades. My feet grew, boots refused to wear out. Maybe they can start a museum. Always wear Vibergs on my rougher trips.
Best ad for boots ever. From Afghanistan to Tanzania to Borneo. I stay comfortable.
They still make excellent boots, Viberg become a high dollar, high fashion brand for city folk now. Good for them. Despite the fact that for many years you could see my photo hanging in their shop like some celebrity endorser. Nice people. Good product. theglobeandmail.com/life/style/art…
At the end of those 48 and 72 hour secret missions in the mountains I am the most irritating guy getting on the Chinook to go home. My feet feel great and all my friends in those smushy techno running shoe boots are hurting. Canadian logging boots for the win.

Xenophobic, politically polarized and mono theocratic company Patriot mobile is sponsoring Canadian protestors and hired a female Chinese Kiwi spokesperson.

Isn't that....woke?
I am not sure what the consequences are for promoting illegal and socially destructive activities but I am sure God will sort it out on your phone bill. Al Qaeda believes in obedience to God and "rebellion to tyrants" And they love them trucks.
Among Trump followers there is a lot of confusion between religion, patriotism, politics and false prophets (profits?). As the Ghost Dancers await the return of their orange messiah, confusion and desperation increases.

Good analysis of Russian intentions in Crimea. Unless it’s all a stunt. General Schwartzkopf fooled Saddam with massive armor buildups that feinted. timesofisrael.com/israeli-satell…
"in order to attack a position, you should have a ratio of approximately 3 to 1 in favor of the attacker.. to attack a position that is heavily dug in and barricaded, such as the one we had here, you should have a ratio of 5 to 1"washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
"Russia has staged around 1,200 tanks for a possible invasion of Ukraine. That’s roughly 300 more tanks than the Ukrainian army has in its entire active force." forbes.com/sites/davidaxe…

"That leads on to another important argument: our own responsibility. Galeotti, like other commentators, stresses the need for increased public awareness and resilience, for mounting a counterattack to authoritarianism and false narratives." engelsbergideas.com/books/do-we-re…
"Russia denies any plans to attack; "We can’t rebut all fabrications, the number of which is growing exponentially and is produced by enemy propaganda during these tough days,” Zaluzhnyi said." news.yahoo.com/ukraines-volat…
Russia is reversing the narrative, playing the victim, being attacked by "Anglo Saxons" which is kinda cute in a Monty Python way. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
