Very good review. Only thing missing is the Apexel 10x42 Auto Focus Binoculars? I find these to be crystal clear, compact, well built . Wondering what is your take on these?
I Walk threw running creeks i have a gold claim i need a boot that's durable and light it needs to take a beating and be high enough to not let the water in . any recommendations out there please
Great video jason, i was looking for a review of rubber boots since the last month, only finding outdated videos that does not describe the true utility of the boots. I was planning on buying the Arxus Primo Nord Zip, i have not seen any videos reviewing this brand of boots, do you know the brand?, and well if you have time, could you make a video for beginners about rubber boots? its only a request, im so sorry if it is weird what im saying, but thanks in advance and thanks for this video.
I have 8 pairs of USA made Lacrosse Burlys , big chiefs, Trapers, and vintage Professionals top lace. All in perfect condition, 15 to 40 year old boots and waders, and all used all year fishing and hiking . I used rubber protectant on them and keep them stored in dark they will last forever. The china made aren't same quality
Hola Jason cómo estás 😃. Me gustan como se ven ésas botas de goma y parecen nuevas. Ojalá y todo salga bien este año y puedas ponerte las botas Lacrosse grange verdes boscoso con amarillo en los bordes por favor para que las pruebes y que te las pongas por fuera y por dentro del pantalón. ¿Cuántos años tienes y cuánto mides de estatura?
Last 2 pairs of muck and last 2 pairs of lacrosse have been junk. None lasted a season and I only get to hunt 20-25 days a year. There is a definite market if someone will build a quality item.
In Fall of 1977, when I was 17, I followed a nice track in big north MN woods in 6” fresh snow. Going north After about 3 hours the trail ended. The deer had walked backwards on its own trail for about 15 yards, then made a big jump, landing a good 15 feet off his trail, then headed northwest. I was amazed how smart he was to use that tactic to lose me. I followed the new trail for 2 more hours, never did see it
It’s something to keep in mind. But I can say that since using them I haven’t had any trouble and I’ve really liked how small they stack together, which is the benefit you get for sacrificing the pivoting tree bracket
Thanks, yes I still use it and recommend it. I also use a Dryad Drey. Which one I use on a particular day depends on my situation. You can check out my Drey review here:jasontomeoutdoors.com/dryad-drey-review/ which compares the JX3 to the Drey
I recently bought an Athlon Cronus UHD Gen 2 10x42 and compared to my $50 ScoopX UHD 10x42 they're nearly identical in glass quality and main differences are significantly higher cost factor and weight difference and Athlon's lifetime warranty. If buying everything with your own hard earned money tje ScoopX UHD can be bought for under $70 from some eBay sellers and pre-owned for under $50. I suggest trying them out for yourself since they're at least noticeably superior to the Athlon Midas UHD in regards to glass quality and have field flatteners and comparable to the Cronus UHD Gen 2 but much lighter weight and way cheaper too.
Been running lacrosse boots for 7-8 years now. I swear the quality in the rubber has gone down. Seems softer than ever. I’m hard on them and put close to 10 miles or more a day but seems hard pressed to last a season now
Awesome video!! I have found in my 38 yrs of hunting nothing can compete with the lacrosse rubber hunting boot and I’ve yet to find one that is also 18’inches high. I don’t stalk them like you guys do up in Maine but I sit dark to dark in blinds with cold weather so the higher number thinsulte the better. Once again awesome video
Great vid! I have the 16 inch classic Bean Hunting Shoe and the Lacrosse Grange. I use the Bean boot more for walking trails hunting grouse and the Grange for deer hunting. Neither have great traction. Really informative video. Think I'll stick with the simple and lightweight Grange. Though I've always been interested in the Xtra Tuff brown rubber boots that so many Alaskans wear. I'll have to try those out some day.
Thanks Jason, I bought a product on Amazon called Boot Bond Glue, it' like a super glue for boots and I've used it on both rubber and leather boots and shoes. It works great!
Fantastic in-depth review!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this. For hunting and tracking in Maine, do you think the 8x32 would be any better? Or, is the 8x42 the sweet spot for power?
Appreciate and really impressed by your effort and I just recently purchased an Athlon Midas ED/UHD 8x42 Gen 1 based on your review. I also just purchased an Athlon Cronus UHD 10x50 rangefinder binoculars as well. A friend who's into optics suggested to buy cheap Celestron (NON HD) binoculars for bang for the buck but their warranty isn't good and you have to pay them a fee- money everytime you need to send your binoculars in just like Bushnell. They also only have a 2 year warranty and only collamination issues fir the first 30 days and build quality seems non-existent based on many customer negative reviews.
in my humble opinion the pump has two advantages over the semi auto model.....1. accuracy 2. reliability. have never owned a pump that did not eject flawlessly......can't say the same thing about my semi autos I've owned.
I saw so many reviews in so many products. Honestly, your review is the best I have ever watched. The reason is that you have systematically explained every item and then you filtered all items that are not good and you came out to the one that is best value for the money, excellent job. I wish you continue to review other things on the same way.
I would think the buck wouldn’t care about what direction the water was flowing, but rather what direction the wind was blowing. They know how to use her nose and they want to stay down wind.
Hey Jason...Just came across your video. I am trying to convert my Outback so I can sleep in it. Could you show or explain how you get the cot level towards the front (either behind or on the passenger seat) ? Thanks
With the passenger seat pushed and leaned all the way forward I was able to fit an upside-down tote behind the seat. The cot rested on the center console and tote because they were at the same level. Hope this helps!
Slow down, you move too Fast ! Kicking them out of their beds is a waste of your time... Looking down to find a track , but look up , look around, they love to watch and see what you are . When they know they Blow as you say .... Slow Down... What's your hurry ??
