[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I'm a convert to the Trans-Alaska Boots. I'd always had my eyeball on them but the price was prohibitive. Tomegun was wearing his last year so I to checked them out. This was before you could go to Cabela's and get them in your hands to check them out. I liked the construction of them, the insulation, about 1" between you and the snow and the high tech materials which do a better job than traditional materials like wools and wool felts. I bought mine last weekend. [/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]I've wore them around the house and they rock. You only need a liner sock and a medium weight thermal sock. I like the merino wools and Ultimax socks. No need to make up insulation with socks because the boot is inadequate. I compared them to my other snow pacs which are good too and they are lighter in weight and aren't as bulky too.[/size][/black][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Hey, Tommy! I no longer have the Quickflip III. Theekillerbee bought it from me and I down sized to the Otter meduim sled 2 person shelter. Sorry buddy, you'd hate this one. Not nearly the size as the Quickflip III but sure a lot easier to handle for one guy. The Otter is a lot better built and the sled is twice as stout which is nice because snowmobiles have a tendency to put those sleds through a lot of abuse. Hey! Theekillerbee now has snowmobiles so he can take it anywhere without becoming stranded again! LOL![/size][/black][/font]
