I know people slag them but I have used Muck Boot Chores for the last 4 years or something.

I use them Literally all day every day round the farm and they have been fantastic.

A pair probably last me 2 years which I don’t think is bad

Things move on mate, thankfully? I would buy a pair of H&G if a pair ever came up for sale, just for the nostalgia

I bet you miss the blisters and trench foot though mate ?

I had Altberg Defenders a couple of years back but I found they didn't keep my feet warm I tried Haix - the ones with the mesh at the sides and although they were warmer, they weren't as waterproof. Last pair I got were the Haix cold weather boots which are warm and waterproof and I find the most comfortable of the 3. 

Mrs w wanted a pair but as she has size 3 feet, it's hard to find any adult boots for her. She actually found a pair of Karrimor SF in her size at the local Army surplus place. They seem more dirt proof than Haix. :laugh:

Plenty of the haix in size 3 on ebay mate, more than there is size 10 anyway which is what I was actually looking for when it gives you every other size.

When I replace then I’ll look for another well made, lightweight boot with a decent sole (Vibram usually a safe bet). Try a few pairs on before you buy, and wear the socks you’ll be walking in to make sure they fit right. Should be plenty deals about once the shops are allowed to open up again.

 

Ive the same , cant fault them , use them regularly when walking the dales .Think i paid bout £90.00 from go outdoors

      Sorry gentlemen to bother you, but I have come to my wits end. My neighbour across the way lets her dog roam as it please when it comes to shitting and urination, she is too lazy to actually take the dog out herself. He seems to have taken to my property and a certain area just under my bedroom window. I do not want to hurt the dog for the sake of her ignorance, but I do very much need to stop him from doing it any longer. The grass and  the shrubs are dying and turning brown and the flowers are just rank with smell that floats up through my bedroom window.
      He is a VERY OVERWEIGHT beagle and leaves behind some damn good deposits.
      I am wondering short of doing something stupid, what can I do to deter the dog from that area or any patches of garden I have? I plan to go to the council about the problem, and lay some of it on the town manager who is an acquaintance of mine, but in the meantime, any tricks out there to make my flowers and bushes unsavoury.
      Thank you in advance,
      Lynn

      Hi guys, just wondering if any of you keep finches. I have a son with autism and other than adoring my ferrets, he has developed a real fascination with small birds, I would really like to keep this interest going with him as he has very few things that he likes and its a great way to get him into the routine of caring for animals. I have a decent sized back garden and a 8ft x 10ft shed that I was thinking about making an outside aviary and attaching it to my shed and cutting out a few holes and having a small inside area. 
      It would be great to see if any of you guys have something like this.
       
      Cheers.
      Gavin
