I have all my stuff washed , dried and packed in bags for this weekend. Now if I could just decide how much BOOT to wear?
Do you think that the Muck Fieldblazers will be warm enough for an all day sit this weekend?
i have other heavier insulated boots , hips, waist waders and chest waders.......
what you think....?

I would go with something heavier than the Fieldblazers for Sat morning since it is basically noninsulated. The Woody Max, a much heavier boot, is good for me down to around 24-25 deg. Below that I ramp up to a 1200 gr. LaCrosse.

Some old Georgia boots with some kind of light insulation and a toe warmer over one light pair of poly socks and one medium pair of 100% wool socks.
BTW- For several years I got free boots from just about any company. I mean even the really high dollar ones. The Georgia boots beat them all hands down in several categories, I wish they still made that style.

i think i will go with the Muck Fieldblazer for a very simple reason.......test run.
It is my determination that these style boots will hold heat much better because of how the tops hug the calf.
I will take an extra pair of wool socks so if my feet get cold, I can maybe put them on....
I also like to pack a very thin wool sleeping bag, just in case....
yep, I look like I'm going camping when i go to the deer stand...lol.

I was wondering the same thing. I've got the same boots and I burnt up in 'em during turkey and bow season. Shouldn't be a problem tomorrow!

I have the Alpha Light 5.0 with no insulation and I'm thinking of trying the same thing.
I have such a long walk and I have to cross a creek I'll actually change socks too. I just don't have enough room to pack in an extra pair of boots. I'll already have a ton of clothes in my pack.....maybe I just need a bigger pack!

For me the Fieldblazer work good to 40 degrees... Afer it dips below 40 I go to the Muck Woody Max, Elite, or Ex Pro... All three of these boots are great for cold weather hunting... When it gets below 20, I add an extra pair of socks (no cotton) and they work great...
