Speaker 2 (00:04):
Bond size. Blitz Creek number five is a.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Short form single where we do one topic, quick format
thirty ish minutes, you know, sometimes a little less, sometimes
a little more, depending on the product.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Uh product products products, was like, what.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yes, this week is going to be footwear, boots, boots,
because not only do soldiers live on their stomachs, they
live on their feet.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
No, if you don't have your feet, you're not going
nowhere dead exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I mean, try to go somewhere when you can't walk
because your feet are so tore up, blistered, fungified, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh yeah, So now I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Going to give it to you. Guys have a little
bit more experience than.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
This go away all right. So, I mean, obviously, as
we've talked about on the show here recently, myself and
Boo Boo and one or two other guys, we just
went and did a ten mile rock. You learn a
lot about your gear really.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Quick, about yourself really well.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
One yeah, one about yourself feet. Yeah, but you are
nothing without your feet, you know. So hey, listen giving
that to mail ruck and your choice of footwear. What
you're thinking, I.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Won't use the five eleven ranger shoes again, right, a
party gole with my dinner boots as I wore as
a patrol deputy. Definitely use like a powder. Yeah, bond's
the new silver bottle.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, dude, that's phenomenal. Dude, it really is.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
In the fresh might frash, you get a brusher, uh
fresh air, and you're just like cool off.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You're like, that's like a peppermint.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Something I used to do is where two pairs of
socks because that also helped because it formed an air
cushion between it, right, and it also helped with the blisters.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So we also learned about cotton and wool and wool.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, we talked about that once we got one with
the rug.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I had cotton.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
He had cotton, as did a couple of other guys.
I wore wool. The reason being is wool is a
lot more forgiving on your skin. It also, whenever it's
hot outside, it tends to keep your feet a little cooler.
Whenever it's cool outside, it tends to keep your feet
a little bit warmer. You don't really run into the
(02:44):
issues of you know, like sweat on your feet because
it really moisture wicking as well. Yeah, dude, I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Sorry, I'm sorry, you've gotta yeah right here, got it?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Not that close.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Listen, I can't hear you guys anyways.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, we can't hear ourselves either, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Well, no, tool is definitely the way to go for sure.
Trust me. I sweat like a stuck pig.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Okay, you get outside, it'll look like a pig too.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Listen, okay, oxide, you look like an ox. Well, first,
for a reason, it'll be sixty degrees outside and I
can step outside to walk to the chicken coop and
I'm sweating like a pig. Now, as far as with
the wool socks, oh man, you're you're hitting a spot.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Wool is phenomenal. It really is. I mean, you know,
it's great like pot powder, because even with the wolf socks,
I still use pot powder. My recommendation will be if
you're gonna run cotton sock because wool is more expensive. Yeah,
it definitely is, Dude, like you might as well. If
you're gonna run cotton, dude, use flip powder and keeps
(03:49):
a freaking mole skin because you're going to need it.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, I told you, Yeah, moleskin.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It was that kind of like liquid band aid. No,
it's it's actually like it's almost like a band aid.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Really, but it's thicker.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, okay, and it literally if you get a fringing blister,
you slap that crap on it, you cut it off,
and basically all it does is it gives a little
bit of cushion between you know, the abrasive surface. But
with wool, you don't really have to worry about that
because there is not really an abrasion with wool.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's nice and soft, it's comfy, it feels good, it's
it's like a little slice of heaven.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Now, back in the day when I was a thought.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You were turning this over to me, I'm just giving
you a hard time. Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm back in the day when I was a broke prepper,
and you know, you'd buy surplus stuff, you'd buy stuff online.
You know for sure, you'd oh, look, those were the
Vietnam jungle boots, so those must be good. Suck exactly.
I bought this to tear your feet to.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Sh due they are trash.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
When I first saw a law enforcement I walked into
a surplus store and bought the cheapest pair of boots
I can because I was like dinners or whatever they are.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Which banners are phenomenal. Give them big thumbs up. Bellville's
thumbs up. Those boots are They're great.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Make sure you buy your boots new so but your
feet can break.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
In boots proper shape. Right, Yeah, the best pair I
ever had. Now I haven't bought some of the new
ones that you guys have talked about. The best ones
I ever bought. They were uh uh, they were issue
to where, like you know, they actually would pass issue.
They were converse.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, oh yeah, dude, those are awesome boots.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I haven't found him since it's like they stopped making
him I think, you know, but they were converse tacticals
that were that were actually they could be used as
part of your actual like uniform. I wore those things
until they fell apart. I used to wear them at
work all the time. Those things were phenomenal. They were
(06:01):
a little expensive for me back then, you know, when
I was you know, you know, broke. They were like
one hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it's actually funny because like he and I were
talking about me and boo boo. For those that aren't
in here, there is a website. It's called bowtack dot
com and that is literally where I bought my last
three pairs of boots from. I just keep them, dude,
I've got them stuck up with my celosset. Believe it
(06:26):
or not. Dude, they're they're Victos, so they're like, it's
a known brand. It's nothing like crazy. It's they're not
stupid expensive on vict on botach you can get them
for I think it was like eighty bucks a pair
at that time. So I bought three pairs of these
dang things. Yeah, like, I mean, dude, it's seventy bucks
a pair. I don't even crab If I have to
put insuls in them, cool, no problem. Yeah, they're not waterproof.
(06:52):
They're not anything freaking fancy. I don't prefer waterproof anyways. No,
but well, it's not only your feet wet. But I
don't mind my feet getting wet. But if my feet
get wet, there's probably a reason for it. And I
also want that water that's in my boots to back out.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Okay, so Converse make a shoe. Of course, everybody knows
about the two holes that drained the water out. I
actually wore Converse for a long time as a patrol
deputy because it would drain everything out so that way
my feet could dry. Yeah, it was amazing. If you
(07:32):
kept a boot on like Dianner's, they're comfortable and everything.
But if you got into like the mud and the
snow and standing in water, you know, you're the water stays.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
In your boot off and dump it out exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
But with converse, you step on it, it scushes out.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
You're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The boots that I've been buying recently, even though I've
got the money to buy the good ones, which I
need to buy, some of the good ones, I've been
because I work at Walmart. Yeah, I've been buying some
of theirs. Now they have ones that are actual certified
that can be worn as part of your uniform. Yeah,
I have a pair of those. They're not that bad.
I've broken them in, but yeah, I don't know if
(08:18):
i'd want to wear them on a you know, twenty
mile rock right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Probably where you should have wor them so you can
break them in.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Right. But they also sell it's it's a black boot
that's got the zipper on the inside. They are only
like sixty seventy bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So, dude, I've got a problem with that zipper, yes, dude,
because it's just like anything else. If you have a backpack,
you put a bunch of crap in it, you close
it with the zipper. I'm not gonna say it's definitely
gonna happen, but it is possible that it could break.
The zipper could break.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Now it rides down and you're you look down and
your boots open.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Right, and now you're breaking where in the crap out
of your heel.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
All the pairs that have had of those, I've only
had one zipper break. Okay, But but I see your
point because I was always like, you know, but I
bought them for work. They're not that expensive, and I
wear them at work and I'm on my feet all
night long.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah what a night a week, even when.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I was full time. But the point for a really
cheap boot, they weren't that bad, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well, and but see that's kind of where like I
got into that bow tack because a lot of it
is military surplus, but it's new. You're not buying used
military surplus. You're not laying the hills. They're like like
you brought up where somebody broke it in and now
you're like I got to rebreak it in. It's new stuff.
(09:54):
It's just at a discounted price because you know what, well,
so I've never found it's crazy. I have never found
anything on botag that has been a defect. I've found
it where it's been like an overrun and they had
like way too much and they were like, oh, we
(10:15):
don't know what to do. It like a surplus, right, Yeah,
that's kind of why I said. It's like a military surplus.
So they have like an over abundance of crap and
you can get it. Hell, the last time, the last time,
I bought uh even some of my five eleven Ranger
shoes out of there. Dude, I think I got it
(10:38):
for like thirty bucks.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, I think it is like twenty eight dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, it is dirt cheap. I bought Freeking four or
five pair. They're up in my cause at too. Guess
what they're comfortable.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Your Starbucks coffees can get you some boots there.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yes, and that are decent. Nobody that are decent. And
I will vouch for that crap because the Victor's. Anything
made by Victor's is pretty good. Anything made by five
to eleven I'm not gonna say it's great, but it's
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
The possibility job it does, no point it has.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, it has the possibility of doing everything you needed
to do.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
But these are first world problems that I sit here,
and again we're talking about serious stuff here, and I
totally vibe this.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So how about we go you some tires, some carpet,
some twine, and make our own.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But again, look at some of the third world countries.
These guys held off the Soviet Union wearing fucking sheets
and flip flops.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Everything everything is Soviet Union. So I'm just getting you ship, bro,
I'm talking Russia, everythingsheads.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I would rather go.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
In Afghanistan and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
On patrol and flipflops because I'm able to take.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Care of my feet, So I would actually rather.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I can kick them off for a second, relax, so
kick them back on and keep on.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Going all this if I had so, if it wasn't
for lack of thorns debris ship like that, getting your
feet dude, I would totally I would totally go barefoot
where I really would.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
How about this new uh likes but that are like okay.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
That the bottom moisture would probably wreck.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It would rot your feet.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Like I used to experiment with the waterproof socks.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The terrible idea.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
You go on the beach, the sand is inside your
sock and.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You're just like, how did you get in there through
the top? Right?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
No, it actually can't. I didn't go through like like really,
oh yeah, I just walked on the beach into the
like the regular water with the baby and then walked down.
I'm like, what is that like that paper my feet? Yeah,
I take it off and turn inside out. It's all sand.
I'm like, this ain't no joke. And there like sixty
(13:00):
dollars like I bought the most expensive pir I can find. Yeah,
you know, money.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Buys quality, quality. Yeah, but no, but that's that's why
I do encourage a lot of people, especially do because,
like I said, you and I have talked about it before,
and now y'all are hearing about I think actually me
and you have talked about it before. Dude, botech is
a phenomenal resource.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
They have got so much crap, whether it be for
your feet, your pants, your shirt, your freaking plate carrier whatever. Dude,
they have got so much crap. It is ridiculous and
it's all semi affordable, dude. It's semi affordable and good
quality most of it from what I've seen.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Even if you didn't get something was good quality, you
can email and say, hey, this looks like shit. Yeah,
I get another one and they'll fix it. Yeah, they
don't even have to send.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Their customer service is phenomenal awesome. But anyways, so back
to your feet. I mean I prefer a non waterproof boot. Yeah,
just that way that water it gets in it gets
back out. It's gonna suck because you're gonna have to
sit down and dry your feet off ship like that.
It's not a big deal. You can take your socks,
hang them on your pack, put a new pair of
socks on, which you should have in your pack. Any So,
(14:14):
now my feet are not dry, dry, but they're semi
exactly dude. It looks like leprosy. It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's bad because I've seen it before, like with me
when I used to do a lot of work in
Miami and uh in the rain and and in like
in boots. Yeah, two days there's chunks of meat falling.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh yeah, look yeah, I mean, and that's not but
two days actually in a dry climate like it was
not rain, and it wasn't it, but the skin had
started to peel off my feet mm.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Hm eight years and dinners, I got lost sweat like
big toe toenails because whatever it was, and like get
into them to grow back is a pan of as.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I had one pair of boots. It's it was a
weird weird like you know, I mean, really cool.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Looking almost stel toe is like I know, but it
was a really neat looking steel toe black almost the
kind of thing that you would see like the nekeromongers
in the Chronicles of Rittick Wear.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You know, some really weird beefy boot I bought them.
They weren't that expensive, about ninety bucks. They looked really
heavy as hell too, you know. But my my big
toe toenails, it rubbed on it in such a way
that it wore them down. So I stopped wearing them,
of course, and then my you know, nails group like
(15:59):
grew back normal. But what people need to understand about
their feet too, is your feet ground you Yes, that's
why it's so important, like whenever you can walk barefoot, barefoot.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Event the earth, I mean, I know, you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Look at babies list there. But I can.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I can, for one tell you that there is definitely
electricity that comes out of the ground. So put your
bare feet on the ground. You're gonna you won't feel it,
but you're gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You will experience it. You won't feel it, but you will.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Experience the property. And we've tried regular planting and electric culture.
Where you stick a to electric culture, bro, guess what
you get electricity?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
It?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Literally, our yields for our crops was substantial compared to
the if not more, I mean just tortatoes, the cucumbers,
the even we took some of your yellow the tear
dropped tomatoes planted those seeds got almost the same amount
of yield just from electro culture.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So now the human foot is not meant to be bound. No,
it needs to be wide. So if you have kids,
don't put them in narrow shoes. Put them in the
whitest shoes pos so they're fucking naturally splay, so their
toes can naturally splay.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
The newest thing is crocs because it has a wide base, yes,
and it's opens.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't either unless you're locked in full drive.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Hey, dad, modes sport mode sport that's.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Where I have my little one in and she's doing great.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, Like dude, she had them like bright freaking sparkly
glitter the other day and I.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Got my.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It's like, my whole life, I've a I've always either
been barefoot, yeah, or in wide like these shoes, your
wide shoes. So you know I don't have that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, So listen, and people think like being barefoot, oh
I'm gonna step in nasty stuff. Good listen for you. No,
but that's the thing that's actually what I sticks and
bring up my whole life, dude, being around cows bro
bearfoot Yeah, yeah, dude, I walk around barefoot. And I
(18:29):
don't want to say one hundred percent of time, but
I will say seventy five percent of the time. I
will walk around barefoot. And I will walk around in
the mud and the muck and the poop and everything else.
And I'm gonna tell you right now, when was.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
The last time you got sick? Oks running down into years?
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's been a while. Like, I mean, I'll get a
sinus headache, a sinus infection, something like that. But as
far as like the actual colder flu count's, I have
none of that. I have none. But as far as
like a colder. It's been a minute, it's been a
long time.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Listen, guys, they didn't they didn't have shoes three four
hundred years ago. Yeah, they were walking with either either
pine bark on their feet.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
You had some Jesus.
Speaker 6 (19:18):
Like when we're sick in the family, my wife will
take onions and government half where they on your.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Feet in the morning.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah, and have the biggest pores on them.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh dude, and the onions will be ugly as crap.
It looked like death. Yeah, because yeah, yeah, and then
you feel But your feet are so incredibly important, like everything.
I will tell you right now. They see they say
that our army lives off his stomach. I will tell
you right now. I don't give a ship how fed
(19:50):
you are. If your feet are rotten, you're not going anywhere.
I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
And let's keep it to the to the facts. A
couple of buddies that are acting, you know in the military,
the MRIs are ship.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh yeah, even back then, they were garbage just to
get you by.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
They said, you're you're you know, the militaries ran by
their stomach because the garbage they were feeding you would feel.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So here's the thing. It has such a hot a
high caloric intake between yeah, between between calories, salts, and fats.
I mean there is proteins in it, don't get me wrong.
But at the same time, it is not. It is
not a sustainable diet, not at all.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Get protein another way.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
That's watch your wow. I was gonna say the Navy
is definitely the Navy.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Okay, They've got substantial amounts of protein over there.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A lot, but there are there are certain there are
certain things that you just cannot get out of a diet. Hey,
you know what I was so worried about, like my
effect on this show, and then all of a sudden,
I was like, it doesn't even matter because the crap
(21:09):
that this guy talks.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
It's just like I'm here.
Speaker 2 (21:14):

The last socks, eyeball. I got them at freaking bass
(21:35):
pro shop. It was sixteen dollars for three pairs, but
it was buy one, get one free. Yeah, so I
got six pairs for thirteen bucks. And I'm gonna tell
you right, six pairs for sixteen bucks.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
The Dickies wolf socks Wrangler also has wool socks, so
you know how is But I did get a I
think it was a twelve pack for eight.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Dude, that's phenomenon. No, I will tell you this. I
don't know if you all know this or not, but
there's a difference, a difference in wool. If you can
get out pack a wool, okay, yeah, that is the mint,
but finding it finding it is more difficult. But if
you can get it, I'll pack a wool is where
it's at because it has something to do with the
(22:27):
makeup of it. I don't know, bro, I am not
a freaking chemist. I'm not a biologist. I don't freaking know.
But but I'll pack a woola is the phenomenal so
not waterproof boots wool socks. Still, dude, please still feel
(22:53):

Speaker 2 (23:02):
On yeah, like so that makes ago you said no
steel toes, but Danner when you talked about this. Danner
used to make a set of U. S MC boots
that were actually steel toe and dude, I'm gonna tell

a day. If you can, too, is rotate your boots.
You have two pairs, rotate them that extend the life.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Yeah. As far as steel shank, I like a steel shank.
The important part with having that is you better have
a really good set of insuls. Yeah, because if not
that steel shank is gonna kill your back.

Oh yeah, it's gonna will be.
Speaker 2 (24:33):

He's
Welcome to blitz Creek number five.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Bond size. Blitz Creek number five is a.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Short form single where we do one topic, quick format
thirty ish minutes, you know, sometimes a little less, sometimes
a little more, depending on the product.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Uh product products products, was like, what.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yes, this week is going to be footwear, boots, boots,
because not only do soldiers live on their stomachs, they
live on their feet.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
No, if you don't have your feet, you're not going
nowhere dead exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I mean, try to go somewhere when you can't walk
because your feet are so tore up, blistered, fungified, you know.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Oh yeah, So now I'm.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Going to give it to you. Guys have a little
bit more experience than.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
This go away all right. So, I mean, obviously, as
we've talked about on the show here recently, myself and
Boo Boo and one or two other guys, we just
went and did a ten mile rock. You learn a
lot about your gear really.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Quick, about yourself really well.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
One yeah, one about yourself feet. Yeah, but you are
nothing without your feet, you know. So hey, listen giving
that to mail ruck and your choice of footwear. What
you're thinking, I.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Won't use the five eleven ranger shoes again, right, a
party gole with my dinner boots as I wore as
a patrol deputy. Definitely use like a powder. Yeah, bond's
the new silver bottle.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, dude, that's phenomenal. Dude, it really is.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
In the fresh might frash, you get a brusher, uh
fresh air, and you're just like cool off.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
You're like, that's like a peppermint.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Something I used to do is where two pairs of
socks because that also helped because it formed an air
cushion between it, right, and it also helped with the blisters.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So we also learned about cotton and wool and wool.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Yeah, we talked about that once we got one with
the rug.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
I had cotton.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
He had cotton, as did a couple of other guys.
I wore wool. The reason being is wool is a
lot more forgiving on your skin. It also, whenever it's
hot outside, it tends to keep your feet a little cooler.
Whenever it's cool outside, it tends to keep your feet
a little bit warmer. You don't really run into the
(02:44):
issues of you know, like sweat on your feet because
it really moisture wicking as well. Yeah, dude, I mean.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Sorry, I'm sorry, you've gotta yeah right here, got it?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Not that close.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Listen, I can't hear you guys anyways.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
No, we can't hear ourselves either, all right.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Well, no, tool is definitely the way to go for sure.
Trust me. I sweat like a stuck pig.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Okay, you get outside, it'll look like a pig too.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Listen, okay, oxide, you look like an ox. Well, first,
for a reason, it'll be sixty degrees outside and I
can step outside to walk to the chicken coop and
I'm sweating like a pig. Now, as far as with
the wool socks, oh man, you're you're hitting a spot.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Wool is phenomenal. It really is. I mean, you know,
it's great like pot powder, because even with the wolf socks,
I still use pot powder. My recommendation will be if
you're gonna run cotton sock because wool is more expensive. Yeah,
it definitely is, Dude, like you might as well. If
you're gonna run cotton, dude, use flip powder and keeps
(03:49):
a freaking mole skin because you're going to need it.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, I told you, Yeah, moleskin.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
It was that kind of like liquid band aid. No,
it's it's actually like it's almost like a band aid.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Really, but it's thicker.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, okay, and it literally if you get a fringing blister,
you slap that crap on it, you cut it off,
and basically all it does is it gives a little
bit of cushion between you know, the abrasive surface. But
with wool, you don't really have to worry about that
because there is not really an abrasion with wool.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
It's nice and soft, it's comfy, it feels good, it's
it's like a little slice of heaven.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Now, back in the day when I was a thought.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
You were turning this over to me, I'm just giving
you a hard time. Go ahead.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I'm back in the day when I was a broke prepper,
and you know, you'd buy surplus stuff, you'd buy stuff online.
You know for sure, you'd oh, look, those were the
Vietnam jungle boots, so those must be good. Suck exactly.
I bought this to tear your feet to.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Sh due they are trash.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
When I first saw a law enforcement I walked into
a surplus store and bought the cheapest pair of boots
I can because I was like dinners or whatever they are.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Which banners are phenomenal. Give them big thumbs up. Bellville's
thumbs up. Those boots are They're great.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Make sure you buy your boots new so but your
feet can break.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
In boots proper shape. Right, Yeah, the best pair I
ever had. Now I haven't bought some of the new
ones that you guys have talked about. The best ones
I ever bought. They were uh uh, they were issue
to where, like you know, they actually would pass issue.
They were converse.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, oh yeah, dude, those are awesome boots.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
I haven't found him since it's like they stopped making
him I think, you know, but they were converse tacticals
that were that were actually they could be used as
part of your actual like uniform. I wore those things
until they fell apart. I used to wear them at
work all the time. Those things were phenomenal. They were
(06:01):
a little expensive for me back then, you know, when
I was you know, you know, broke. They were like
one hundred and fifty bucks. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So it's actually funny because like he and I were
talking about me and boo boo. For those that aren't
in here, there is a website. It's called bowtack dot
com and that is literally where I bought my last
three pairs of boots from. I just keep them, dude,
I've got them stuck up with my celosset. Believe it
(06:26):
or not. Dude, they're they're Victos, so they're like, it's
a known brand. It's nothing like crazy. It's they're not
stupid expensive on vict on botach you can get them
for I think it was like eighty bucks a pair
at that time. So I bought three pairs of these
dang things. Yeah, like, I mean, dude, it's seventy bucks
a pair. I don't even crab If I have to
put insuls in them, cool, no problem. Yeah, they're not waterproof.
(06:52):
They're not anything freaking fancy. I don't prefer waterproof anyways. No,
but well, it's not only your feet wet. But I
don't mind my feet getting wet. But if my feet
get wet, there's probably a reason for it. And I
also want that water that's in my boots to back out.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Okay, so Converse make a shoe. Of course, everybody knows
about the two holes that drained the water out. I
actually wore Converse for a long time as a patrol
deputy because it would drain everything out so that way
my feet could dry. Yeah, it was amazing. If you
(07:32):
kept a boot on like Dianner's, they're comfortable and everything.
But if you got into like the mud and the
snow and standing in water, you know, you're the water stays.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
In your boot off and dump it out exactly.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
But with converse, you step on it, it scushes out.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
You're gonna go.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The boots that I've been buying recently, even though I've
got the money to buy the good ones, which I
need to buy, some of the good ones, I've been
because I work at Walmart. Yeah, I've been buying some
of theirs. Now they have ones that are actual certified
that can be worn as part of your uniform. Yeah,
I have a pair of those. They're not that bad.
I've broken them in, but yeah, I don't know if
(08:18):
i'd want to wear them on a you know, twenty
mile rock right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Probably where you should have wor them so you can
break them in.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Right. But they also sell it's it's a black boot
that's got the zipper on the inside. They are only
like sixty seventy bucks.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So, dude, I've got a problem with that zipper, yes, dude,
because it's just like anything else. If you have a backpack,
you put a bunch of crap in it, you close
it with the zipper. I'm not gonna say it's definitely
gonna happen, but it is possible that it could break.
The zipper could break.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Now it rides down and you're you look down and
your boots open.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Right, and now you're breaking where in the crap out
of your heel.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
All the pairs that have had of those, I've only
had one zipper break. Okay, But but I see your
point because I was always like, you know, but I
bought them for work. They're not that expensive, and I
wear them at work and I'm on my feet all
night long.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yeah what a night a week, even when.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I was full time. But the point for a really
cheap boot, they weren't that bad, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Well, and but see that's kind of where like I
got into that bow tack because a lot of it
is military surplus, but it's new. You're not buying used
military surplus. You're not laying the hills. They're like like
you brought up where somebody broke it in and now
you're like I got to rebreak it in. It's new stuff.
(09:54):
It's just at a discounted price because you know what, well,
so I've never found it's crazy. I have never found
anything on botag that has been a defect. I've found
it where it's been like an overrun and they had
like way too much and they were like, oh, we
(10:15):
don't know what to do. It like a surplus, right, Yeah,
that's kind of why I said. It's like a military surplus.
So they have like an over abundance of crap and
you can get it. Hell, the last time, the last time,
I bought uh even some of my five eleven Ranger
shoes out of there. Dude, I think I got it
(10:38):
for like thirty bucks.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Yeah, I think it is like twenty eight dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Yeah, it is dirt cheap. I bought Freeking four or
five pair. They're up in my cause at too. Guess
what they're comfortable.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Your Starbucks coffees can get you some boots there.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Yes, and that are decent. Nobody that are decent. And
I will vouch for that crap because the Victor's. Anything
made by Victor's is pretty good. Anything made by five
to eleven I'm not gonna say it's great, but it's
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
The possibility job it does, no point it has.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yeah, it has the possibility of doing everything you needed
to do.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
But these are first world problems that I sit here,
and again we're talking about serious stuff here, and I
totally vibe this.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
So how about we go you some tires, some carpet,
some twine, and make our own.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But again, look at some of the third world countries.
These guys held off the Soviet Union wearing fucking sheets
and flip flops.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Everything everything is Soviet Union. So I'm just getting you ship, bro,
I'm talking Russia, everythingsheads.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I would rather go.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
In Afghanistan and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
On patrol and flipflops because I'm able to take.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Care of my feet, So I would actually rather.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
I can kick them off for a second, relax, so
kick them back on and keep on.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Going all this if I had so, if it wasn't
for lack of thorns debris ship like that, getting your
feet dude, I would totally I would totally go barefoot
where I really would.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
How about this new uh likes but that are like okay.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
That the bottom moisture would probably wreck.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It would rot your feet.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Like I used to experiment with the waterproof socks.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
The terrible idea.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
You go on the beach, the sand is inside your
sock and.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
You're just like, how did you get in there through
the top? Right?
Speaker 3 (12:39):
No, it actually can't. I didn't go through like like really,
oh yeah, I just walked on the beach into the
like the regular water with the baby and then walked down.
I'm like, what is that like that paper my feet? Yeah,
I take it off and turn inside out. It's all sand.
I'm like, this ain't no joke. And there like sixty
(13:00):
dollars like I bought the most expensive pir I can find. Yeah,
you know, money.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Buys quality, quality. Yeah, but no, but that's that's why
I do encourage a lot of people, especially do because,
like I said, you and I have talked about it before,
and now y'all are hearing about I think actually me
and you have talked about it before. Dude, botech is
a phenomenal resource.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Awesome.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
They have got so much crap, whether it be for
your feet, your pants, your shirt, your freaking plate carrier whatever. Dude,
they have got so much crap. It is ridiculous and
it's all semi affordable, dude. It's semi affordable and good
quality most of it from what I've seen.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Even if you didn't get something was good quality, you
can email and say, hey, this looks like shit. Yeah,
I get another one and they'll fix it. Yeah, they
don't even have to send.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Their customer service is phenomenal awesome. But anyways, so back
to your feet. I mean I prefer a non waterproof boot. Yeah,
just that way that water it gets in it gets
back out. It's gonna suck because you're gonna have to
sit down and dry your feet off ship like that.
It's not a big deal. You can take your socks,
hang them on your pack, put a new pair of
socks on, which you should have in your pack. Any So,
(14:14):
now my feet are not dry, dry, but they're semi
exactly dude. It looks like leprosy. It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
It's bad because I've seen it before, like with me
when I used to do a lot of work in
Miami and uh in the rain and and in like
in boots. Yeah, two days there's chunks of meat falling.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh yeah, look yeah, I mean, and that's not but
two days actually in a dry climate like it was
not rain, and it wasn't it, but the skin had
started to peel off my feet mm.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Hm eight years and dinners, I got lost sweat like
big toe toenails because whatever it was, and like get
into them to grow back is a pan of as.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I had one pair of boots. It's it was a
weird weird like you know, I mean, really cool.
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Looking almost stel toe is like I know, but it
was a really neat looking steel toe black almost the
kind of thing that you would see like the nekeromongers
in the Chronicles of Rittick Wear.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
You know, some really weird beefy boot I bought them.
They weren't that expensive, about ninety bucks. They looked really
heavy as hell too, you know. But my my big
toe toenails, it rubbed on it in such a way
that it wore them down. So I stopped wearing them,
of course, and then my you know, nails group like
(15:59):
grew back normal. But what people need to understand about
their feet too, is your feet ground you Yes, that's
why it's so important, like whenever you can walk barefoot, barefoot.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Event the earth, I mean, I know, you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Look at babies list there. But I can.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I can, for one tell you that there is definitely
electricity that comes out of the ground. So put your
bare feet on the ground. You're gonna you won't feel it,
but you're gonna get it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
You will experience it. You won't feel it, but you will.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Experience the property. And we've tried regular planting and electric culture.
Where you stick a to electric culture, bro, guess what
you get electricity?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Right?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
It?
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Literally, our yields for our crops was substantial compared to
the if not more, I mean just tortatoes, the cucumbers,
the even we took some of your yellow the tear
dropped tomatoes planted those seeds got almost the same amount
of yield just from electro culture.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
So now the human foot is not meant to be bound. No,
it needs to be wide. So if you have kids,
don't put them in narrow shoes. Put them in the
whitest shoes pos so they're fucking naturally splay, so their
toes can naturally splay.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
The newest thing is crocs because it has a wide base, yes,
and it's opens.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I don't either unless you're locked in full drive.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Hey, dad, modes sport mode sport that's.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Where I have my little one in and she's doing great.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Yeah, Like dude, she had them like bright freaking sparkly
glitter the other day and I.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Got my.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Whatever.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
It's like, my whole life, I've a I've always either
been barefoot, yeah, or in wide like these shoes, your
wide shoes. So you know I don't have that.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Yeah, So listen, and people think like being barefoot, oh
I'm gonna step in nasty stuff. Good listen for you. No,
but that's the thing that's actually what I sticks and
bring up my whole life, dude, being around cows bro
bearfoot Yeah, yeah, dude, I walk around barefoot. And I
(18:29):
don't want to say one hundred percent of time, but
I will say seventy five percent of the time. I
will walk around barefoot. And I will walk around in
the mud and the muck and the poop and everything else.
And I'm gonna tell you right now, when was.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah, and have the biggest pores on them.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Oh dude, and the onions will be ugly as crap.
It looked like death. Yeah, because yeah, yeah, and then
you feel But your feet are so incredibly important, like everything.
I will tell you right now. They see they say
that our army lives off his stomach. I will tell
you right now. I don't give a ship how fed
(19:50):
you are. If your feet are rotten, you're not going anywhere.
I mean.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
And let's keep it to the to the facts. A
couple of buddies that are acting, you know in the military,
the MRIs are ship.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
Oh yeah, even back then, they were garbage just to
get you by.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
They said, you're you're you know, the militaries ran by
their stomach because the garbage they were feeding you would feel.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So here's the thing. It has such a hot a
high caloric intake between yeah, between between calories, salts, and fats.
I mean there is proteins in it, don't get me wrong.
But at the same time, it is not. It is
not a sustainable diet, not at all.

is definitely the Navy.
Speaker 4 (20:41):
Okay, They've got substantial amounts of protein over there.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
A lot, but there are there are certain there are
certain things that you just cannot get out of a diet. Hey,
you know what I was so worried about, like my

think it was a twelve pack for eight.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Dude, that's phenomenon. No, I will tell you this. I
don't know if you all know this or not, but
there's a difference, a difference in wool. If you can
get out pack a wool, okay, yeah, that is the mint,
but finding it finding it is more difficult. But if
you can get it, I'll pack a wool is where
it's at because it has something to do with the
