Thanks pal

Something I’ve wondered about. The first Harley engine that had an official name was The Flat Head. Does this have anything to do with the company of the same name?

[Giles]

No, The Flat Head took it's inspiration from Ford Flathead engines of the 30's….

@Filthy:

Next I am thinking about drilling into the inside sole with a fine drill bit and injecting a small about of boot oil in there.

@zhivago @motojobobo this actually worked. I wore them all day lots of walking, and no squeaking.

Genius Sir! Seeing a potential side gig here for you man!!

[motojobobo]

Well done @Filthy ! Not surprised…your idea sounded solid from the beginning and execution was likely spot on. You ought to post it in places like styleforum or reddit where these boots get a lot of traffic. There is value in your hack as I’ve read about many Wesco/Viberg/Whites owners complaining about sole squeak and either sending them back or selling them.

@Giles did you ever get that kayak? just upgraded from my 2014 outback to a 2017 pro angler.

[Giles]

I have a 2021 Outback on order.  It should be here late this month…

I'm looking for a large, waterproof, and hard-core durable back pack. Anyone have any suggestions? My Timbuktu bag is over 10 years old and is still serviceable but I feel like I am ready for something else.

@Filthy – I'm all about the offerings from either Ortlieb (I have the Packman Pro 2) or Mission Workshop (I had the Rambler at one time).

[Chris]

Ooh, this sounds like a question for @Anesthetist, @Graeme, or @Cutlasshound…

[Giles]

Don't ask me, the answer will always be Ortlieb….....

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I knew you guys would have something awesome to suggest

[Giles]

Look at the Attrack…...

No offense to Luke and Giles. But I am hoping they have something to suggest that looks less like something from the movie Cliffhanger.

These could possibly work… but I am looking for something that is not a roll top and can fit under an airline seat (even if it sticks out a bunch).

Wow that's a good one…

[henry_david]

But Cliffhanger is cool af dude! Don't you wanna look like Sly, @Filthy?? 

Still gonna steer you towards Mission Workshop. Plenty of non-rolltop options and v well made.
