Toenails

[MtnMuley]

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

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.

Running a half size larger Kenetreks makes going steep downhill as comfortable as I'll ever need

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.

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. 

That's true! My ladies know to stay away from my callouses.

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.

For some reason this is one of the funniest posts I have seen on Huntwa.  It just cracks me up, definitely in my top ten maybe top five of all time funny posts.

The file on a leatherman tool works alright.

Clip them once in camp, boil them until white, and drink the broth.

If you can do that you are defiantly tough enough to carry the toenail clippers.

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.

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.

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're going to go naked get some piercings. The extra holes in the skin will save you crucial ounces. Skin is heavy, much heavier than your typical back country clothing.
