My LOWA Renegade GTX hiking boots are comfortable |
After Black Friday the shopping only intensifies with the Christmas
deadline rapidly approaching. Sometimes the best items can be hard to find,
which is always the rule when demand outpaces supply. While there are
time-tested gifts that are sure to satisfy the needs of someone who treads the
outdoors path in life, sometimes a small variation can bring new perspectives.
Hiking boots are a must but have you tried the LOWA brand. Cooking on a grill
is the old standby but what about the new FireDisc. If your football team is still
playing ball into 2019 then what about wearing new collegiate apparel from
Drake, widely popular for its waterfowl camo.
If your team is still playing ball - you need more Gear! |
LOWA boots are developed and manufactured in
Europe, founded in 1923 near Munich, and they are expanding distribution in the
states. Their Renegade GTX mid-cut boot from the hiking collection is a best-seller
known for its lightweight comfort and Vibram sole. When taking these boots out
of their packaging box my first reaction was how light these leather boots
felt. A good-looking boot is one thing, but a heavier boot tires ones legs too
much over the course of a day outdoors. The Nubuck leather comes in fourteen
different colors, including three different widths and includes a Gore-Tex
lining.
A trio of FireDisc cookers in use in Arkansas |
My first introduction to the FireDisc cooker
came during a sub-freezing duck hunting trip to Arkansas in January 2018. With
all the water in the area frozen, we had plenty of time to stand around outside
and visit while watching Bart Likes prepare food for the next meal. The 22-inch cooking surface has three separate
heating zones with different temperatures allowing for some food to cook while
other food simply stays warm. Drake has created their collegiate line of casual clothing,
choosing to highlight some of the top teams like Clemson and Alabama. Longtime
supporters of any successful program likely already have some logo wear in
their closet, but getting the latest gear is always fun. Merry Christmas to all and Good Luck shopping!
