Toenails

[7mag.]

Most people carry 4 knives and a whetstone in their ultralight setup, shouldn't be a problem

...a wetstone.

To go light, drill holes in the clippers to reduce weight.  To go ultralight, bring a piece of 200 grit sandpaper.  Drill holes in the paper too.

Drilling holes in things is my goto answer to lighten things up.  Works for toothbrushes, gps units, tents, shoes, etc.

Love it! I just got a lighter pair of boots, next time I'll just drill a few holes in it, would have saved me three hundred bucks.

I had jonathan_s sew me a pair if stiff mountain boots, but they are toe less.  Problem solved

My toenails don't even grow. They are glacial speed when I am running significant mileage. I think I cut them maybe once a month?

I can't imagine anybody would need them on a trip if they cut them before hand.

Get a pedicure 3-4 days prior to the hunt and you'll thank me. I get one once a month because I have Army feet with lots of ingrown toenails. Nothing better for feet in boots than to have a professional take care of your feet. Trust me on this one, OP. Then you don't have to worry about taking care of them while you're out.

The day I ever pay anybody to trim my toenails is the day I will salute Hillary.

But the foot rub feels so good!

Might have to try this with my bow to cut some weight. I figure the limbs would be the best place to cut weight, and I figure if I drill the same number of holes per limb, it should stay balanced and be good to go.

I guarantee that once you go, you'll go back. What you worried about, your reputation?  All you've got to lose is $25 for something that makes going steep downhill in hiking boots comfortable.

I like the scissors on my leather man

This may be the grossest thread ever on this forum. Carry on.

Well since we can't talk about the high hunt. I figured we need something more entertaining then gear threads. Foot care is serious business though. And I have never had a professional pedicure. Now I just might.

You guys totally get the Ultra Light concept.  cut weight at all costs.

I have considered going naked on my hunts to save weight, but I figure my skin is so white I would blind anyone who came across me.

If you do this make sure to tell them not to sand off the callouses on your heels that take help keep blisters away.  It will take the entire off season to build them back.
