      So.. In my stockroom/ level floor cellar, I have no light… No electricity either, everything's been cut (to prevent from tenants using the built-in airco I assume)...

      I've bought a LED searchlight but I need something that provides much more light... This is kinda cool but not sufficent either: http://www.light11.nl/Marset/FollowMe.html

      Anyone have any ideas here?.. It's a small room, under 10m²...

        want to leave the light down there?

        Use a car or caravan battery and a fluorescent strip light designed for a caravan.

          That sounds good… Might switch the car battery for one of these though: https://tinyurl.com/psbumba

              Is this what a typical IH needle would look like? Like the kind that break while sewing the 25oz. denim? @Winchy @Giles

                    I'm a total boot noob! I wear Adi Dasslers finest three stripes whenever I can, then I've got an old pair of generic steel caps for working in and an old pair of donated hunting boots for hiking/cabin trips and so on. The only casual boots I've got is a pair of black, lined Clarks that cost about $200 that I've had for autumn/winter use the last three years.

                    I'm painfully aware that I need to up my boot game. I'm not quite ready to splurge $800 on some of the badassery available here. I'm just not sure I love boots that much (yet). So I'm thinking something more "entry level" that cost around $400, like Red Wings or Wolverines. They need to be able to tackle rain and not be useless in ice and snow. Lining isn't a must as woollen socks are boss.

                    Here's the question: Based on the above, which boots should I buy?

                      Everyone who is into this kinda gear should of owned a pair of Red Wings at least once.  I have numerous pairs and can't complain. Go for a pair.

                        $400 for redwings?

                        Figure out sizing & what u like then get someone to proxy for you or buy lightly used on ebay or grailed

                            Red Wings are between $300-$350 here, depending on the model. Wolverines $420.

                              I hear ya 🙂 . Are Wolverines worth the extra? Read some pretty damning things about them on the dedicated thread here.

                                Never had a pair. What size are you? Will keep a eye out. Always see Redwings in the sales. Never paid full price for a pair and I had 6.

                                  Glad to proxy, just figure out sizing & save the extra money on flowers for the wife with a decent dinner or a day trip with the kiddies.

                                    Cheers guys, that's very decent of you both. I have it on good authority that I'm a UK 10/US 11 in Red Wings. Shout out if you see anything.

                                      I have redwings and wolverine addisons. Go for redwings ( oxblood iron rangers or ice cutters are a good shout imo).

                                      I also like the look of look of the danner made for japan boots but not owned a pair yet!

                                        Beside the common RW's and Wolverine Boots, you could also check Thorogood or Chippewa Boots for this price range.
