Does anyone know of any plans to do this?
Would make a lot of sense
At the moment its a bit of an oddity not being part of the Overground
Hello everyone!
I recently bought these Danner boots off ebay
They were listed as cold weather USMC RAT boots but look a bit different
pull tabs at the back, 200g Thinsulate lining, angled tops aren't standard on Temperate RAT boots
Unable to find much online
Anyone know, are they rarer than standard RAT's, performance in all weather, etc?
Hello everyone!
Found a pair of these in my size on ebay for £139
Rare in UK and price seems reasonable for a new boxed pair
Are they any good for general wear, especially walking with heavy camera bags full of equipment?

Hello everyone!
I have an opportunity to buy a pair of Danner USMC MCWB Goretex Speed Lacer Boots 15655X cold weather version
They don't often come up in UK especially in my size
Are they any good, what's the difference between the cold weather and temperate versions?
Seller doesn't know
Used to have a pair of the Bates? hot weather RAT boots years ago
Quality wasn't great, soles started to split and stitching came undone after few months, couldn't find anyone local who was able to fix them so gave them to a charity shop
Are the Danners better quality?
Hello everyone!
Bought these off ebay, just over £30 which is a good deal for the UK
Listed as original Vietnam era Jungle Boots 1970 but could be earlier
Labels inside faded away so no way to verify authenticity
All that remains is previous owner's name, Baldwin written in marker pen
Cleaned, polished and changed the laces, works quite well

Posted this on Green Party group yesterday expecting some comradely discussion on the issues which are in my opinion legitimate
Wow! Couldn't be more wrong, got repeatedly denounced by everyone apart from one other contributor, such uncritical support for Ukraine and Zelensky was unbelievable!
The Green Party mods removed the post earlier today!
"As a Green Party voter/supporter who is generally supportive of GP policies on most issues am quite sceptical of the party's unconditional support for Ukraine in the current conflict
Is this discussed among members at all?
I agree Russia should withdraw and internationally supervised referendums should then take place in the disputed territories, Crimea, Donbass, to finally decide whether they should be part of Russia or Ukraine
This conflict is a Western obsession, most of the world particularly the Global South don't see Russia as the baddies, US/ Western imperialism always the main culprits
NATO aggressivly expanding, breaking agreements made at end of the of Cold War not to do do, Russia has every right to feel threatened
Western powers supported a far right coup in 2014, ousting the elected president, left wing parties banned, Russophobia reaching deadly levels
Nazis such as Bandera, OUN venerated as heroes, statues, streets named after them, heavily armed far right Azov battalion now official Ukranian Army regiment etc, all with total support ftom the west
Over 25 million Soviet citizens including Ukrainians killed by the Nazis in World War 2 hardly surprising any whiff of fascism close to Russia's borders will provoke a reaction no matter who is in power there
Boris Johnson scuppering the possibility of a peace agreement telling the Ukrainians to fight on instead of negotiating a ceasefire and eventual settlement has brought us where we are, another forever war
Ukraine's support for Israel's genocide doesn't exactly endear many to their cause, nor the fact they're one of Europe's most corrupt and undemocratic countries, oligarchs enriching themselves while unwilling men are snatched from the streets for cannon fodder
Nothing new in this article, these obscene videos have been posted since the beginning, Russians totally dehumanised, their deaths celebrated, not dissimilar to how Israelis see Palestinians
We should stop arming these people, it only prolongs the conflict enriching arms companies who are making billions
