    Danner Mountain Light II - An on-going review

    This is going to be an honest review, both good and bad. Ended up with a Couple of medium blisters during a 10 mile hike last Friday. It started the previous Monday on a 5 mike hike I had a little rubbing a soreness where the top of the boot meets the ankle. It never opened up it was sore a...

    Danner Mountain Light II - An on-going review

    I liked them for the short time I used them. I think I ended up buying my boots a half size big so with just the airthotic heel cup the boots felt too large. I ended up getting a pair of their fatigue fighter insoles and have been very happy ever since and haven't looked back.

    Mortonm's 2001 Xterra Build

    Hahah too nice to mount inside. Love the family history, always the best kind. My Dads side fron Scotland showed up in Canada in the 1850s and my moms side in 1820. My something great grandpa was an army officer (surgeon) at the battle of waterloo and was given land.

    Mortonm's 2001 Xterra Build

    I misread, thought you had said the Danner Lights. The Mountain Light and Mountain Light II are very similar They don't come with insoles just the airthotic plastic heel cup. Which wasn't bad. I ended up getting the full length dannr insoles and have been very happy with them. I don't like too...

    Mortonm's 2001 Xterra Build

    The Mountain Lights are pretty similar while being a little taller and having the fabric side panels. Exact same outsole which I love. So grippy and a nice blend of flex and stiffness. The Mountain Lights are 5" which I like for all day use especially in and out of the truck. The stitched sole...

    Fascinating indeed. Always interesting to think what would have happened if the British had reduced their taxes etc and the Revolutionary War had never happened or they had defeated the Americans. What a big country we would be together now.

    They aren't actually stuffy and hot like you would think With midweight wool socks im fine hiking around in our summer weather all day. This weather has been cooler but still seen temps in the 90s. Cant comment on southern California heat though. They sure are comfortable. I have an on going...

    Mortonm's 2001 Xterra Build

    Its still of great interest, it was just across the border and at the time we weren't even a country yet, with potential British involvement on the Southern side I'm sure there was a lot going on. I have a tendancy towards British history especially Colonial and the Civil War us right in the...

    The Civil War isn't tops on my list of war interest (rebels fighting rebels? :26_7_2: ....I kid, honestly, little British Empire humour (i even spelled humour properly ;)) ... but you can't deny the allure of Gettysburg, one of (if not THE) most famous battles on American Soil.

    4 weeks and 12 hours until I head south for 10 days into West Virginia and A swing through PA again and Gettysburg on the way home. Picked up this piece of kit today (was actually a birthday present on back order) should be great for collecting and splitting firewood. Gransfors Bruk...

    What tires would you get that would result in better fuel mileage? I can't imagine it would be significant.
