      if you don't need video
      the D40 is quite enough of a cam
      durable, the battery goes and goes forever
      small enough to carry often
      (though not pocketable, if that matters)
      but there may be better newer cams, I just can say the D40 is plenty good
      (I take most my pics out and about with my iphone 4)

              Thanks. I'm definitely going through those links.

                Anybody tried the Mustang Paste (horse oil) in the web shop?

                  Yep.  Works very well.  What I have found is that with Oberneufs, you occasionally get some white blotching when you apply (which does go away, but does cause a missed heart beat at the time).  To date, I have not seen this happen with the Mustang…....I have not done any comparatives though......

                    Obenauf's darkened my boots quite a bit, but I actually like it so no harm done… I'm not using it on my OSBs though... But I have some Venetian creme incoming, of which George said it doesn't darken your shoes either...

                      The reason I'm asking, I've been using mink oil for the last years, mostly on black leather, with good results. Raw IH leather patches darkens some with each application, but only makes it look better. It's greasy, though, and takes a while to fully absorb (leather might feel oily for a while), and it smells some.
                      Heard that you shouldn't apply it to often/frequent on boots, as it might soften leather too much and make it less durable.
                      Is Obenaufs like Bick 4 in consistency?

                        Curious about this as well, since I use Bick 4 on all my leather stuff…

                                Yeah, I hear you. I just wanted to make sure it didn't cross the line into utterly ridiculous. I feel as though they're dark and roughed out enough to go with murdered jeans.

                                  On another note…any one check out Nudie's (I know) foray into Khaki? they're looking pretty sharp. What's everyone else think?

                                      Depending on the model, I range between a 10-10.5.

                                        damn.  I was going to send you a pair of boots that I have never worn that would go perfect with those jeans but they are 12.5 tts.

                                        check these out

                                          Dude, that's a sweet gesture. Truly appreciate it.

                                          haha. Did you see the shipping cost? Tack on an extra $125. Still, the total is not out of this world as it stands now, but I'm not willing to get into a bidding war in the $400+ range. Thanks for the heads up, though. They're mean boots.

                                            No, I didn't see the shipping cost.  I hate when people do that shit.
