Comment on First Ship of the Year by croghan27

While I do not live in the north – but in Ottawa, I used to work in an isolated mine in the Queen Charlotte Islands off BC. I can remember the excitement when the supply ship would come in ….I also remember the time there was a Vancouver Tug Boat strike and the general disappointment when it was learned the ship could not come.

Glad to hear of your good tidings.

I thought I would be the smart one so I did a google search for “Red Arctic Rubber Boots”. So what came up? — a picture of you in your red boots! Then there was the guy that caught his boot in a boat propeller. Probably, he has one good boot for sale. I think you had better order the smallest men’s size that is available and buy extra socks — nice and “toasty warm” for the winter!

I agree with Dick above maybe if you go directly to the manufacturer, since they were a recall, they might send you another pair.

Yes sik siks drive the dogs crazy but just doing what comes naturally. I have two dogs, a Siberian Dysis and lab/husky Nanuq from Arviat. The summer of 07 was in Rankin and both dogs would find a sik-sik hole digging in tandem gleefully for half and hour, animal usually long gone. Only ” prize” ever got was a lemming. Thanks for your post.

They have red boots, patterned boots, plain boots….you name it, but probably not wintery ones. Check it out though, they are pretty cool. I’ve been looking for a pair of cool ones for camping and haven’t found any in Red Deer yet. May have to order from this site.

Try Cabellas for boots. I bought my pair there for the trip I took to Iqaluit a few years ago. Really enjoy your blog, keep it up.
