Plus 1 on Bellevilles...
I've been lookin' so long, I got side-tracked and forgot about them. I can't remember the number of boot brands I've dismissed for one reason or another but Belleville isn't one of 'em.
Considering my experience of unavailability with the Danner, other than online, I might as well buy anything online. In fact, I have to thank you, Sisco, for the reminder. Gonna get Belleville's MINI-Mil, a zero-drop sole. Not what I originally wanted from them, but...
I used to wear Earth shoes and such without issue and really preferred the natural gait they allowed. If I knew there weren't hidden, sharp, metallic objects, broken glass, what-have-you, hidden in today's terrains, I'd be as barefoot as Jethro Bodine.
The one detractor is, I heard they were imported. Not a big deal as the Danners I was considering are also imported.
Yeah, kinda a strange boot, but have you met me?
<edit> No Danner outlets nearby...gonna be in NYC next week. Maybe I'll find both to compare.

I'm hoping they impress me. I've never owned Danners before and Altama has lost my favor...
In my opinion, every interaction one might take seriously should start from the ground up. Don't put cheap tires on your vehicles, cheap shoes on your feet or cheap mattresses under your back. Long-standing castles were built on bedrock for a reason.
This also explains my disappointment with the lower legs of the Atlas BT10 I bought. Fortunately, a remedy has been formulated.
As to the other accessories, I should be getting a package from J.Dewey MFG soon. Then I can get this party started!
Decided to go for a few of their products...rod, guide, brush, jag, mops and patches...topped off with Shooter's Choice MC#7 (I've never used it before). After all the searchin', I just didn't want to be bothered with ordering from various sources tho' other brand brushes, jags, guides and solvents had my interest.
Recently picked up Tipton's Best Gun VIse...was tired of using my knees, etc. I don't think it'll support the Barrett tho'.
Still need to get some Ballistol, which I have used before...really liked it...seriously multi-purpose. Gonna gauge it against the more narrowly focused Boeshield T9.
