Ryan you are amazing in many ways and because you are so passionate about your stuff and primitive hunting but also about craftsmen who have great trustworthy products that you are passionate about too!!
hi i have 3 pair of moc identical to the one shown in your video ,one soft leather sole wchich are my preferd one , one with crepe sole for town use or heavy rocky terrain , and one low ankle suede leather soft sole and they are all awesome , extra light weight ,tearing resistant , extra silent when walking , my collegue at work call me a ninja to tell you how silent they are and so confortable its really like wearing slippers , the closest foot wear to barefoot feeling you can get , i am on the point to buy a new one for more winter use with wool lining for more mountain exploration and hiking , love these laurentian chief mocassins , i recommanded them to every outdoor men and women who want the best of footwear they can find, and they are also great as slippers at home too. keep up the great work Laurentian chief !
Hello from Canada I have a pair of the same ones (laurentian cheaf) love them l wear them in urban areas as everyday foot wear. I am also am vary interested in all things primitive and have been studying and practicing for over ten years. I appreciate some of your real in depth subjects/videos.
Nice! I remember back in 2011 I walked 12 miles along a highway in a pair of buckskin moccasins. Hardly any damage done to them. I do agree that moccasins should be the go-to footwear for hunting. Take care
To be stealthy in super dry forests, I have a pair with soles I made put of thick felt. Sheepskin (with fur, fur side as sole) works very very well, but sometimes picks up leaves that may then make noise rubbing on you or something nearby as it sticks out past the moc's outline.. but is a fair trade off in some situations
I have 2 pairs from them. The mukluk snowshoe boots and the moccasins like yours with out the tassels. Great quality and their price are more than fair for what you get.
I love them, I want to order myself a pair! Also, I love fossils, and I love flintknapping, How cool would it be to flint knap fossilized coral! I will purchase a 25lb box from your website! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us Ryan Gill, I wouldn't be knapping if it wasn't for you.
Wow , just what I was looking for. What is the model number please? How long did it take to receive? Do they stretch lot? Did you order one size under for stretch? thankyou. Great vids keep em coming.
How waterproof are these? Or maybe water resistant would be a better term. As far as dewy grass frost and damp ground? My grandpa hunted barefoot and had a pair of moccasins, I never got to meet him but my dad said he was deadly in the deer woods...
I’m considering getting a pair of these for bow hunting and possibly wearing around town. It’d be my first pair of moccasins. Would you recommend the crepe sole or just leather? I live and hunt in central Oregon. Thanks for the videos!
✌🏾, How flexible is the leather my feet are wide, wondering if these are suitable for zero drop/barefoot/minimalist shoe, usually the toebox is wide so you feet/toes can naturally spread?
Great video, Ryan. If you had chosen to use one with just a leather sole and not crepe in your Idaho hunt, what do you think would have happened to the mocs? Would you have torn them apart?
I don't think so. not any more so than the crepe sole. It wasn't actually the sole that took the most abuse, it was the sides that took a lot of rash from the shale slides.
they arent waterproof, but I also don't wear them if it's really wet out because I can stalk in anything and still be quite. I typically just love them for my dry days. Now, that being said, if you just hit some moist ground or dew, they really arent too bad. the soles are oil tanned in some cases and do pretty well as keeping dry if not slogging through the really wet stuff.
@@BEOWULF266 Thanks Alex I found them evenually. The wife and i both got a pair and they're great. I found my poor old 55 yr old feet didnt like feeling every stick n stone so i upgraded them with som Dr. Scholls shoe liners and now they are the Cats for me.
I've seen this design before but I don't like the soles they used. These ones have better soles. They're meant to be soft and able to bend easily like the whole shoe does.
ahhhh, but do they kill shit in them????? nahhhh… I probably kill more shit in "girls boots" than most guys do in noisy "man boots". I'll own 'em and wear 'em.
haha, I look at comments like bait.. I get tossed a lot of ribbing bait so I love a good back and forth roast. No offense taken or given. Just enjoying the rhetoric. It's just construction site, man talk to me.
Ryan you are amazing in many ways and because you are so passionate about your stuff and primitive hunting but also about craftsmen who have great trustworthy products that you are passionate about too!!
thank you very much! Most certainly passionate.
Thanks so much for giving such a great review on these moccasins and for you continued support. You are the best at what you do Mr Ryan Gill!

What ones would you recommend for winter wear

What sole did your moccasin have? Was it a soft sole(leather)? Crepe? Hard rubber?
Mathurin Kerbouchard probably soleless
I have had those exact ones, for a month. 4 extensive hikes in MT and I love them.

In Mexico we use huaraches, leather shoes with intricate designs. They are made with strips of cowhide I recommend trying them.
Those look very nice. How is the traction for climbing hills? Would you climb 1500 ft elevation with them?

My son loves your show. He's the 9 year old version of you.

Do you still think the crepe sole was the better choice for Idaho or would the leather sole have been adequate?

hope you enjoyed idaho. i need some of those, thanks for the recommendation :)
thanks for following along!
Good looking pair of moccasins
They look very nice! Thank you.
Hello! is it profitable to buy these shoes? are they recommendable? are loafers with a crepe sole better?
I'm from northern Idaho lol the terrain isn't that bad is it? Never noticed
How long do these take to be delivered? I live in Georgia. Thanks
Hey Ryan, how are they holding up?
very good. I haven't worn a set out yet
Great video, Ryan. If you had chosen to use one with just a leather sole and not crepe in your Idaho hunt, what do you think would have happened to the mocs? Would you have torn them apart?

Thank you for your reply, Ryan. So moccasins really are durable and tough.
yeah I probably should have been a little nicer to them but I really wanted to put them through the wringer without worrying about them.
Well, there is always one good thing that comes out when putting something through the ringer. We learn its limits/capabilities.
Are these specific moccasins still available?
Wow those are solid lookin
Hey I’ve been looking at these for a while and was wondering how to these hold up to wet rugged trarain
they hold up pretty well. I beat them up pretty hard when I hunt
Thanks for the source .
awesom stuff
Hey new subscriber here! I love your videos!
thanks very much for finding and following along!
Would these be good for winter seasons
Probably not. They have no lining.
Como puedo mandar ha buscar unos mocasines
How are they for being waterproof (soles) Gill?
they arent waterproof, but I also don't wear them if it's really wet out because I can stalk in anything and still be quite. I typically just love them for my dry days. Now, that being said, if you just hit some moist ground or dew, they really arent too bad. the soles are oil tanned in some cases and do pretty well as keeping dry if not slogging through the really wet stuff.
Hi, I you want waterproof leather try beeswax with a couple of other ingredients, you can find recipes on RUclips and the web
I may get a pair before my next boar hunt.
Definitely worth it. Significantly quieter than boots for sure.
Ryan find us a good Native owned company to buy from! Great Mocs bug
Being in Florida, are you ever concerned about venomous snake bites while wearing mocs?
Ive been all over their site and cant find them?
They’re in the men’s moccasin boots section.

Bruce Snyder how long did it take for them to be delivered? I’m curious. I’m In Georgia and I’m wondering if they’ll get here before the 23th. Thanks
@@Rpg39_ it was a couple weeks but i still love them. Gettem ordered!
I've seen this design before but I don't like the soles they used. These ones have better soles. They're meant to be soft and able to bend easily like the whole shoe does.
That will be the most slippery footwear ever....glue on a thin nopped rubber sole to the base.
Sin....👈🏼👁🤣 I just point and laugh at mock a sin hahaha 😆 🤣 😂 😅 your unworthy to loose my moccasin
New mockasin goofing
Why don't they make them like that all the time. They should have leather soles stitched at the bottom!!! Not some crappy plastic pad thing
I made my moccasins out of 6oz Buffalo ,I'm sure the moose is probably as comfortable as my buffalo moccasins
In winter like 90% of girls wear those boots here
ahhhh, but do they kill shit in them????? nahhhh… I probably kill more shit in "girls boots" than most guys do in noisy "man boots". I'll own 'em and wear 'em.
HuntPrimitive wasn't saying they are a sissy boot just very popular in Canada and still worn to this day
haha, I look at comments like bait.. I get tossed a lot of ribbing bait so I love a good back and forth roast. No offense taken or given. Just enjoying the rhetoric. It's just construction site, man talk to me.
Hun T inn G
Like a kid in a candy store
these aren’t real moccasins
Uhhhh yes they are moccasins are just thin soled leather shoes
