Prouboy,

Hey, YOU'RE the guy who put me on to the place!  Barring unforeseen developments, I'm heading back to WCP, again, myself.  From my point of view, it is an outstanding park!  Then, again, it is tough to have a bad trip anywhere with the company I've been keeping in recent years.  Anyway, I'm planning a particularly aggressive WCP route for this summer.  Think solitude & walleyes that have never seen a fishing lure before....

I DO like my Chotas but NOT where terrain poses challenges for my ankles.  I've had too many ankle issues over the years to invite that sort of trouble again.  NRS Boots are great but, apparently, they don't make them like they used to.  Fortunately, mine probably have another year or two of wear in them.  They did very well in WCP.  I wish NRS would get back to the old program & turn out something similar!

Butthead got my attention with his earlier post referring to Altama Military Spec Jungle Boots.  I thought I had found an outstanding 50% sale price on a pair but it turns out they were closeouts that - well - closed out before I could get to them.  At full price (anywhere from $107-160) I'm not sure they're such a deal.

I might take a closer look at the Quetico Trekkers to see what they're all about.  Boots may be on my 'Copia shopping list this year.  "Deals" & good ankle support are strongly preferred....
