check Canadian tire
They have their breathable waders on sale from 199$ to 99$. I picked one up and first time wear, took them off and socks were soaked on both feet. They leaked at the seams.. who knows, maybe it was just a faulty one but thought i'd throw this one out there.
I have the same pair I bought for last years meet
They have been through hell and back.
i got the same ones! the leaks come from the cheap neoprene booties, mostly the heels, i used black RTV silicone to fix them up.. the silicone works the best.. smear it on over the whole boots and seams, use some type of cloth or fabric to make extra reinforcements on the heels and coat the whole thing over with the silicone, almost like putting putty on the walls before sanding...lol it will stay flexible for ever and will stay on for a very long time..
you can always put more over top if you didnt get the fix the first time..

25 years ago when gas was cheaper wages were a lot lower, I don't see your point ?
Gas has always been a government tax grab.

right....but bills were also lower, and no cell phone bills, no internet bills, i remember my dad going to the states every week to buy gas cause it was cheaper to pay the bridge toll and buy gas there than it was to stay here

Going to the states to buy gas, that sounds backwards it would take a tank to get there, and then it would take a tank to get back where's the logic in that??? Would only be worth it if you were able to bring a tanker back and park it in your driveway lol ahhh its all relative wages are higher as well as everything else but I do agree prices are going up on everything faster than wages are increaseing

No bills were not lower, inflation is inflation. Sorry.

ya if you live within 20 mins from the border it makes sense, not like driving from ajax to buffalo, id need a full tank to get there and be almost empty on the way back, but i could always fish the niagara on the way back

Whats the temp rating of that sleeping bag?
I can't remember the temperature when we were there last year, but I know it was very chilly early in the morning when I got there...

The zipper broke and I couldn't zip it up haha. That night it was below 0, I remember my waders being all iced up, when I was putting them on in the morning.
