Gaiters are incredibly annoying and imo dangerous for climbing.

 

Pretty sure there are no non leather chainsaw boots on the market.

Not sure wood would stop a saw, if it did you really need to work on your sharpening technique

 

If you were going to use the wooden clogs with a chain saw you would have to get the steel toed models, of course I bet there a great deal more expensive.

Cows are not killed for their leather, they are killed for the meat, if we all stopped using leather there would be just as many cows slaughtered as before. You can wear leather with a clear conscience, knowing that you are buying a product that would just be thrown away if it weren't needed.

 

i agree with this and i'd add that leather is at least biodegradable.

Each to their own tho

Geez i was only having a laugh, doesnt bother me when people laugh at things i believe in.

He cuts down trees, doing many different animals (mostly insects) out of house and home not to mention how many get squashed in the process. Is a cow any different because its bigger? If it was really that important that no animals are harmed then he's in the wrong job unfortunately.

If i offended anyone then i am sorry but its part of life, get used to it. I could see the point if i attacked his character or something but i only made a stupid comment with no malice intended.

On a more serious note I have talked this over in the chat room and it was decided that you could use wooden clogs for your work boots.
