Cold or wet feet are one of the quickest ways to ruin your hunt or other outdoor activity. Doing so requires proper moisture management when it comes to your boots. In this video, Randy Newberg goes over several tips on how to manage that moisture and in turn keep your feet warm.
His first tip is to use camp shoes when you're hanging around camp or driving to the trailhead. This prevents you from having sweaty feet before your hunt even begins. Even mid-day if Randy is going to be in the same place for a long period of time, he will take his boots off and let his feet dry out and possibly switch socks as well.
Along with that it's also important to waterproof your boots. If your boots are leather they aren't naturally waterproof and need a waxing ointment applied to stop them from absorbing moisture. Pair that with a good pair of gaiters and that will help manage external moisture management.

@DiabloOutdoors 7 месяцев назад

"moisture management" FINALLY someone getting it right! One thing tho, it's not 8x faster, but 25x! "Camp shoes, camp socks" SPOT ON! One tip for you and your subscribers: Bring a small microfober towel and use it to remove the moisture from your boots. Do this when you have removed your boots while waiting on the field. WOOL BLEND Beware that some manufacturers are labeling their socks "Wool", but if you read the labe, you'll see ....10% wool. This shouldn't be allowed (my opinion). So make sure the socks are, at least, 70%+ wool. Merino wool is the best. And guess what? DARN TOUGH, an American company, made in the USA, gives a lifetime warranty on their Merino wool socks! Sir, you have THE best video on the subject on RU-vid! And you have a great attitude too. Well done!

@bullfrogpondshop3179 3 года назад

I have suffered through cold feet while hunting my whole life. Despite wearing high quality "wicking liner" socks under heavier wool and wool blend socks (also high quality), and wearing felt pac or Gore-Tex boots, my feet were always cold. It took me 30 years to figure out the reason my feet always got cold was because they were sweating. I then began using Certain-Dri anti-perspirant on my feet the night before, coating my feet with cornstarch before donning my socks in the morning, and not putting on my boots until exiting my truck. But for me, the biggest difference was when I discovered that the wool socks were making my feet sweat! Believe it or not, I now wear just the thin liner socks inside my boots, and my feet stay warm far longer than ever before. I sometimes wear regular cotton (gasp!) tube socks with similar results. This year, I think I'll try wearing the liner socks to walk in, then putting on some heavier (not wool) socks on top after I'm settled in my stand. If you suffer from chronic cold feet, try replacing the heavy socks with something lighter...what do you have to lose? You can always pack a pair of heavier socks if the lighter socks don't do the trick for you. And listen to Randy when he tells you not to wear your socks and boots until you exit your truck!

@billmers3219 3 года назад

yeah the problem with Muck Boots they make your feet sweat so bad your feet will literally freeze inside of them

@thebosscatman7 Год назад

i watch marty on life below zero bought what he wore first boot that my feet diddent get cold they were mickey mouse boot theyeven have a air deflater on them for high altitude and they only cost around 100 bucks at army surplus

@sportysbusiness 3 года назад

One major point you didn't mention. Our feet are designed to work, yet almost all the boots designed for hunting immobilise your feet, reducing the amount of work they have to go and reducing the blood the supply and reducing the natural heating ability of your body. You must ensure the boots are wide enough for your toes to naturally spread when you walk. I usually wear minimalist boots so my feet do a lot of work and rarely get cold. I'm so used to using my feet that I now always get cold feet when I encase them in foot coffins, aka hard boots!

@InvestorAcademyPodca 3 года назад

@michaelellis5930 3 года назад

When you're exerting yourself, your feet can produce 1-2 cups of sweat per day. That varies from person to person, of course. I like the idea of keeping your boots off as much as practical in order to keep from building up sweat when you don't have to.

Год назад

No need for handwarmer. To avoid getting your boots wet from your transpiration, use that layering system: put a warm sock on your feets, then use a plastic bag to prevent moisture from getting in your boots, and then put a super thin liner sock to keep all of that in place. Have a couple of replacement socks for all day 2-3 and when your feets get too wet replace for a dry one. Now what do you do with your wet sock? Tuck it in your winter coat or somewhere close to your body where you produce a lot of heat and that moisture will evaporate. If you have wool socks that process if going to be quick and from the time your last pair of dry sock becomes wet your first one will be dry enough. When you get your boots wet they freeze during the night and they make your socks humid faster in the day.

@randylee7166 Год назад

I thought I knew it all, but the hot feet/hand/ foot warmers at night inside the boot is a great idea! When I come home at night after being in the cold, I always use a boot dryer. Good tips! From Wis

@whiteyfisk9769 Год назад

Boot dryers are very bad for the glue in your boots. It will cause them to fail prematurely. Kenetrek boots seem especially prone to high heat

My feet always cold got a bunch of new tricks to try thanks for info

@jyrilaitinen9399 3 года назад

I’ve hunted in tree stands for decades in Alberta. It can get really cold in November. I found that putting a small blanket over my legs while sitting down greatly extends the time before my feet get cold. Sitting down pulls and compresses the insulation on my coveralls, blood cools down and goes to my feet. The blanket adds an un-compressed layer and helps in keeping my feet warmer. I used to be able to only sit for 1.5 to 2 hours on a really cold day, now I can sit there as long as I want.

@audunaa1494 3 года назад

I use to bring some newspaper with good absorbing paperquality, take some pages and them ligtly curl them and stuff them inside the boots. they absorb a lot of moisture over the night,best if you can put the boots close to a fire etc with some external heat to make some evaporation. but do well in a cold camp to, it keeps cold air out of the boot as well in the prosess. The handwarmer trick will probobly make a good match with the newspaper (Y)

Cold dry places is one thing. Wet snow and rain another thing. All wool ,eat fat ,oatmeal with butter and work like hell you'll be health into your 70s. Go to bed early with good women wake up repeat 45 years cold no problem. Don't clean clothes in winter, you want the compost cycle to work , within wool layers. You never see a sheep soap up . Also top button on big over coat is the vent hole ,take note. Grandma always telling grampa , it's the middle of summer take the coat off. Cold feet something to think about sitting by the cook stove.

@MrTdacosta 3 года назад

Randy, what also works for me while elk hunting in Montana is to spray my feet with anti-perspirant unscented deodorant. It keeps my feet dry for several more hours than without using it. Eventually, my feet will start to sweat, but I’ve gained several more hours of dry, WARM feet for the cost of the 10 seconds it took me to spray them.

@Amen.22 3 года назад

When I was in the army, stationed in Alaska, we were issued white rubber boots, Nick named bunny boots. They had 2 layers of rubber with a space for air in between. I thought, these things will never keep my feet warm. My first winter in Alaska, we had a 30 day field exercise in the north. I was outside often, even for 8 hours one day at -30F and my feet never got cold. I have never found anything that works as good as bunny boots. Look them up, ours had a valve on the side that you would leave open if you went up in an airplane. I've been told that there's fake ones, so make sure you get the real deal.

@williamhamill813 3 года назад

Poly-pro liners are super boss. Newspaper! Hand warmers have nasty chemicals in them that land in the landfill or under the ski lift.

If you wear a vapor barrier sock and a liner you’re main sock and boot never get wet in the first place. Long distance mountaineers use this technique and it works very well.

@RadDadisRad 3 года назад

I work outside for a living, Iowa and Minnesota, and have taken a lot of my tips and tricks from work and hunting and applied them to both.

@RadDadisRad 3 года назад

I have Irish Setter Elk Hunters and I wear a cotton sock when temperatures are above freezing and wear a 90% or better wool sock for temps below freezing. I’ve worn this setup in temperatures -42F. I also put a waterproofing compound on my boots. It helps my boots to not absorb moisture from the snow laying on the boot and thawing from the warmth of the boot.

@karlmadsen3179 3 года назад

I love the look of the Kenetrek boots, but haven't bought a pair yet. All together, I've probably bought enough pairs of boots over the last eight years to have popped for a pair of these pricey gems. If the deal were reversed, buy a pair of gaiters and get a pair of boots free.....NOW I would have jumped on that (as long as they weren't $500 like the boots)! On a more serious note (unless Randy is trying to get hold of me for those free Kenetreks), the boot dryout trick with the hand warmer packet - it works great! I've used it for years when on those hunting trips with my small-ish Terra Nova tent and drying out is crucial.

@lanedexter6303 3 года назад

You can no longer get Lamilite lined boots from Wiggy’s, but you can get Lamilite socks. And you can buy great mukluks if you live where it’s seriously cold. Jerry Wigutow knows more about keeping warm outdoors than anyone, trust his gear.

@Picklemedia 11 месяцев назад

Dunlop Purofort boots are the best I ever used. 12-hour shift at -40 on a steel oil rig floor and perfectly comfortable, presumably because of the airflow? Went through many different boots trying to find what worked and these were by far the best. I found some -60 rated boots just made your feet sweat and then you were buggered.

@muskett4108 3 года назад

All good advice. If you run hot and working then don't wear too much clothing. Sure windproof, but not too much as the heat and moisture needs to get out. That heat and moisture has to go somewhere so don't trap the moisture so it pools. Once you stop working and already soggy then get rig of the soggy garment, never think you can dry it out by wearing/body heat alone. To be warm needs dry next to the skin. When static then enough layers to trap the body warmth in. If you stop during a climb, mid way through a working session, then don't stop too long and cool down too much. Always have one set of bone dry clothing, even if that means getting back into the damp cold stuff for a work session. Be proactive with layers on off,on off, on again. Once the cold is into your bones its hard to shift. Bone dry socks are heaven; take three pairs: one on going to get wet, one drying, and one dry.

@mikeherpel6308 3 года назад

@bwillan 3 года назад

Great tips on keeping your feet warm. It's shockingly simple, keep your foot insulation (sock and boot) dry. I find using a vapour barrier sock over a thin synthetic liner sock works quite well to keep your insulating sock and boot insulation dry. I take the gaiter concept one step further, I use neos overboots to keep my boots dry. The Canadian military love using them when doing training exercises.

@kevinlyons2560 3 года назад

Randy, Kenetrek has 3 levels of insulation in their Mountain Extreme boots. Which ones do you use for different temp ranges and different seasons?

My feet sweat very bad. I use a synthetic liner sock and a 72 percent merino wool sock. In two hours my feet are soaked. Going to lace my boots looser and see if that helps. I do carry an extra set of socks and do change. Nothing like sitting by a mountain creek and letting that cool mountain air dry my feet out.

@mikeapple3943 3 года назад

@MrTdacosta 3 года назад

John Bell I’m from Mass. and have hunted Montana for elk about a dozen times. Regardless if it is the first week of the season, when you hike into the mountains, it’ll be much colder than in the valley. Therefore, I’ve learned to wear insulated boots . If you’ll be standing (or sitting) still for any length of time, non-insulated boots I’ve found are just too, too cold. Went up there one day with mid-height hiking boots (non-insulated) and by mid morning, I couldn’t keep still because my feet were so cold. Switched to insulated boots and even though my feet were still cold, I was much more comfortable.

Wish I had watched this before I bought my Kenetrek Mountain Extreme boots. I got mine from Cabales. I could have gotten a free pair of gaiters. 😒

I went from perma froze toes to warm feet by buying a size larger and big toed boot with a thinsulate liner. I wear a thin wool sock. The extra air space with the boot made a huge difference. It was important that I fell no pressure on the tops of the foot or sides. I can wiggle my toes easily. I spent $200 on my LaCrosse boots 25 years ago and still wear the same ones. Money well spent.
