Re: [Philmont]: boots

Hey, on lacing your boots, the normal way to lace up the boots is tuck the lace under the hook. If you are having to stop and retie your boots, try this. Instead of going UNDER the hook, go OVER the hook and then go under the hook. Look at how the lace now has pressure on the lace. This will keep your boots from getting loose. A guy at REI showed this trick to me.

  Different question. I remember something from this list on lacing the upper and lower parts of boots differently if you are going primarily up or down. Seemed backwards at the time, so I wanted to get it again. I believe it was loose (looser) bottom and tight (tighter) top to go down, and opposite going up.
