    I wanted to put out a blatant recommendation for one of our sponsors ~ in a review of the new Bailey’s catalog. These are good folks to deal with.

    This mail order company is in a perfect way to help folks get what they need when/if they live in a rural area that doesn’t have saw shops and well stocked hardware stores to get supplies from.

    You can get a copy for self by calling:

    or go to:http://www.baileysonline.com

    Tell them a horselogger sent you.

    The LaBonville boots are gone with the exception of size 42 which you can get for about $50. Great boots for woods work. They are trying to find another manufacturer.
    I’ve used Baileys since the late 70’s and they are pretty good, especially if you have enough of an order to justify the shipping. I think there logging equipment end has lessened over the years. I have a heck of a time getting the right size pants they list a 32 which would fall off a 35″ waist in the new line of jeans. Not as heavy as the old “kick ass,” ones.
    Out in washington state there is Madsens which I like a lot.

    Here in our neck of the woods, most commercial loggers own boots from White’s Boots in Spokane,WA. Most are rebuildable after wear and tear but hang on when you check out the price. Here’s a link for anyone interested:

    All the best.

    PS Is it too early to sign up for next years LIF workshop?
