What to do if you attack yourself with a chainsaw.
« on: October 29, 2007, 07:39:21 PM »
Well, the boot that I cut open with a chainsaw was deemed upfixable by danner, unexchangable by sportsmans warehouse, so I'm left on my own.  I first trimmed off all of the excess leather, and other materials inside, which included gortex, thinsulate, and then a liner.  I took a piece of cloth, and soaked it in aquaseal, and applied it around the cut area of the goretex, and then let it dry for a little bit, but so it was still fairly pliable.  I then took some synthetic sinew, and sewed up from the bottom, across the top, and tied it off.  I applied another generous helping of aquaseal over the whole thing.  Cut a good chunk of rope for a new lace... since the old laces were ripped out by the saw....  Here's how it turned out...

Looks like you got away lucky. The end of your foot would have been much harder to refasten

hahahaha.  I didn't post the pictures of my foot, cause they aren't proper for a family site such as GBO!! 

Worked all day in them today in the rain.  Totally waterproof, and still just as comfortable.
