Your experience reflects my observations with my personal, and mates footwear choices.

Mud, swamp and heat are a poisonous combination for most boots and this is why the Jungle Boots with a liberal application of Shoo-Goo on the rubber / canvas seam-joint is the only thing that I have found survives long term. That said the underfoot comfort leaves a lot to be desired.

I will try the Jim Green African Rangers just because I like them anyway and my Courtney’s are maybe a tad too small, probably need to be broken in further.

I like Keens and have their sandal type shoe for casual wear and they are comfortable probably as good as anything else; Hi-Tech deserve a mention as a cheap “disposable” boot alternative that will provide some comfort and support before they inevitably expire.

Good luck with your new life far, far away. The NT is certainly different but hunting opportunities are not as prevalent as some other states, particularly Victoria with the State Game Reserves, State Forest and National Park available for hunting with the relevant game licences and no booking system required. This is the Gold Standard.

The NT does have a freedom aspect to many things, certainly what we have experienced growing up and hunting in the 80’s, 90’s and a little beyond but I have found the place radically different on my return and miss many aspects of the hunting opportunities in Victoria. That said the hills are a bugger to hunt but the cool weather makes camping awesome!

Good luck with the retirement and thank you for taking the time to reply.
