$20 bucks at Walmart. You don't need to go to OGE to do this shit. Stop trying to be part of the status quo. Hiking is hiking. You don't need fancy shit to do it. Our forbearers diddnt have shit and they were fine.

That's the problem with being poor. You pay for cheap stuff which inevitably breaks down pre-maturely and then your having to buy new stuff the next year.

Yeah that is true. But you're still not out $200 bucks. Even if you bought 4 new pairs of Walmart boots you're still not out $200.

Price doesn't also denote quality. I've seen a lot of tear down videos about boots and testing from project farm and other YouTube channels. People are more interested in being a meme than practical.

I know what it's like to be poor. I was growing up and through most of my adult life. Being poor means you're paying a lot more for a lot less.
