Anyone used the boot blankets?

Kinda checking out the boot blankets such as the Icebreakers - anyone used them yet? I like the idea of wearing my leather hunting boots AND staying warm in the stand and then being able to take off the boot blankets for deer drives/walking without clomping around in the Icemans.

I've got a set, they are nice and warm, the thing I don't like about them is that they're slippery as $hit when you have frost or snow on your stand, consequently the only time I've used them is on ground stands. Since I got my Ice King boots I wear those for cold deer hunting and the boot blankets ride around in the car as part of my survival clothes. In fact, they just got thrown into the car with my insulated coveralls this morning when I was the 4 degree temp.

Cooter,

I currently use Ice Kings but I have a pair of the boot blankets that I have used in the past. What I found to work the best for me was to carry them out to the stand in a backpack, when I get to the stand, I remove my boots and put on a pair of felt liners and then put the boot blankets over them. It's like wearing bedroom slippers and you don't get snow and or dirt inside the boot blankets.

I also have a pair and they are awsome! You are right about them being slippery so i always put them on once i am in the stand. The nice thing is if your boot gets wet on the outside it dosn't freeze when you have the blankets on.

Before I had good boots I used them a lot. Toss a couple of those heat packs in there and you're good to go.

I like using them. Adding heat packs really works well but it's not necessary most days for me. I prefer light boots for walking in and just backpack the boot blankets. I have big pack boots that keep my feet warm no matter what, but I prefer the blanket/light boot combo.

      Heading up to LV a week from today with the kids. Any advice for us? Staying on the West side but open to traveling if the weather permits.   The way the last few weeks have gone, might stay for good!!!

      Do have Wi-Fi in your house. Your going to need that to work with any of the cameras that send a signal and video to your phone.  Hardwire is the best but battery power workers well for about two months then you have to pull them and recharge them.  It is nice to sit on a beach in Key West and keep an eye on your house when gone! 👌

      With all the craziness in the world I’m looking at getting an outdoor security camera setup for my home. Anyone have ideas on what works well without a huge cost  and easy to do . Or is it better to go with a company to set it up.  We have recently had copper thefts in the area at farmers fields and bin sites and I know it will only gat worse as these things always do. I probably want something that hooks up to my phone as well and wondering if there is a good one with either battery life or if wired is better. Any thoughts are welcome.

      Aren't they the ones that ran into problems about illegal bait? Anyone know how that turned out?

      You launch on Moose Lake to get to the motorized portage. It's called Prairie portage. To get to the portage you put in at Moose Lake. From Moose you go into Newfound Lake. From Newfound you go into Sucker Lake. On Sucker is where Prairie portage is. There is a dock on the American side and on the Canadian side there is big sign welcoming you to Canada. Latourell's Resort runs the portage and the cost for the portage is $40 for a round trip.

      Will that blond haired kid have that cool little orange boat in the show this weekend? Saw him driving around by Muskego Point a few times this summer.

      Nope, there are parts of Basswood that allow motors.   Entry is from Fall Lake, and there is (I think) a motorized portage.   It is really popular in the spring...
