These are what I run, a little spendsy at $95.00, but more expensive means better. :twocents:

Thank you so much . That kind of kind advice is what I'm looking for and at 48 I just can't chew them of anymore.
:tup: , you can never be too cautious about pulling a muscle in the steep and deep.

You bet
I have a small toe that rides against the toe next door. If I don't keep trimmed it cuts the other.

Bummer Ghost, I think I'd be contemplating lopping off the little saboteur. :twocents:

No offense, but I simply can't imagine them growing enough to be an issue during a backpack hunt, even for longer 10-12 day trips.
I just clip them to the quick a day or two before the hitting the trail, give 'em a thorough brushing with hydrogen peroxide and forget about them. I can't stand any excess toe-nails or even fingernails for that matter. Having taken a microbiology class back in my pre-med days where we swabbed all sorts of surfaces (countertops, floors, doorknobs, toilet seats, toilet handles, skin, fingernails, etc.), they are just mind-blowingly gross mini-petri dishes for all manner of nasty buggery.
I suspect that most of the afflictions suffered by people in the backcountry are simply due to poor hygiene.

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

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

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.

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

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? :chuckle: All you've got to lose is $25 for something that makes going steep downhill in hiking boots comfortable.

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.

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. :chuckle:

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

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.
