I do that if they are well worn(not extremely worn) and I plan on doing some work with the saw, but if I dull it cutting firewood then I just change them out. If you're changing out chains on a job that's not usually very productive.
Ohh how wrong you are. Take it from me noise induced hearing loss is very real and no joke, I find it difficult to hear a conversation in a group, wont't start a saw now with out hearing protection as I'm trying to mind the little I have left...........................................................................................and the tinnitus is no laughing matter either....................................................................
I bet her fella toed the line!!
Tinnitus sucks...guns, saws, race cars, lawn mowers, hammers, air tools and rock concerts have done their damage to my hearing.
I have no personal experience with them. A good friend of mine swears by them. I've always liked Lacrosse knee highs.
Those muck boots my feet always sweat in them bad so I have not had any luck. None are really insulated though. As long as your always moving your feet will stay warm. But if it's really cold I opt for something different. Maybe the toe heaters with the sticky tape on them???
I wear mine a good bit when the snow gets deeper. I'm not sure if their temp rating is up to par though. I think mine say good -20* but mid teens are pushing it. I have several pair of felt liner insoles for on the bottom and change them out regularly if they feel damp from sweat. I double up on wool blend socks if I'm sitting in the tree stand on a cold day. I forget which model I have but will check when I get back to the shop.
Kinda of same for me, I have some electric socks that work well (other than feeling the wires) but batteries only last 4-5 hrs.
I had that problem too. I have figured out that it's a combo of things. First bring extra Socks and change them out a couple times. They get damp and then you get cold. If you sweat and stop your done and you will freeze. Have to put dry socks on before the moisture freezes. Also have to make sure the boots are dry before even leave the house, use a boot drier if nessasary. Second if it is too tight of boots buy ones that are like 2 sizes bigger there has to be air all around your foot or they freeze off. Third and this applies to hunting keep your feet off the cold ground put them up on something or get a seat tall enough that your feet hang or you can rest them up on carpet or something other than the cold ground wicking up and freezing the boot off your foot.
I have a pair of Hoffman pac style boots that have held up incredibly well (15+ years) but my feet are always cold unless walking briskly, even if my upper body is working hard but not much walking their cold. They are kept on a boot dryer every night. I bought new liner’s last year that helped but still cold. Never really liked rubber boots but have heard the muck boots are pretty warm if you can keep them dry. Might have to try changing socks, in them 10+ hrs a day.
