I need boots. I bought a pair of Danners about, oh, six or seven years ago and they served me well. Excellent product. But, as time went by, they wore out and I’ve never found another pair that I liked. I really like the Danners, theyre excellent boots, but as I looked over their selection it seemed that the majority were made in China and if possible, i try to buy US made….or at least from non-Commie countries.

So while in the local sporting goods store today I discovered that theyre having a sale on Danners. I want a good pair of hunting boots. Real rough-n-tumble, end-of-the-world, march-to-hell-and-back boots. Danner does make an American made pair that seem to fit the bill. Oddly, they are called ‘Canadian‘….so not necessarily made by communists, but still with a socialist flavor….

Anyway…MSRP is $315. But theyre on sale for $198….1/3 off. Way I figure it, if I wear them in hunting season and in the uber-crappy weather and snow here they should last me at least four or five years.

Now I just gotta figure out how to come up with $200 to get these things before a) they sell out of them in my odd size and b) before they go off sale.

But, oh, nice nice boots.
