Make sure you wipe the deer poo from your boots that got onto your platform off first!
Yep, I'd say from experience that the main benefit of carbon SHOULD be lighter weight for equal size or equal weight for much larger size. Then there's the noise factor, then the thermal handling factor, and lastly the minute thermal benefit for your feet in the teen digits and below.
And just like that we’re back on track.
This is how I look at it also. But Tethrd didn't even hit the first one of those benefits with the CFX ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can also get on board with this.
Before I had money to buy my own gear, my boots were old school leather milsurp boots and cotton socks because that's what dad wore and he said they were good enough. Without carpet my feet got so cold and hurt so bad it was hard to stay in the tree if the temp got below about 35. With carpet, they would be cold at that temp but not painfully so. I have better boots and socks now and that makes a big difference but I think the big kicker is the barrier from air movement below your feet more so than whether you are on aluminum, steel or carbon grate. No reason for me to argue with you about it in the tree, you have every right in the world to be entirely wrong.
Ohio is on my list but I'm not sure about late season.

Didn’t I see these in Newsies?
While you are completely logical in all assessments made here, I must respectfully remind you that this is a Tethrd thread. Pseudoscience and BS degrees are the going currency.While the discussion of physics and engineering on saddlehunter from folks with BS degrees from google are exceedingly painful for me to read through, I am proud to see so many of y’all going back to the basics we learned in 3rd grade. You got that right, the scientific method. Y’all have only made it 1/2 way though i.e. 1. observation/question 2. Research Topic 3. Hypothesisize. You still need to Test your hypothesis with an experiment, analyze the data, and report back with your conclusions
So I will give it to Mav. The easiest and most accurate way for us laymen to confirm the science we experience is to perform tests. I would try to eliminate the human as a variable since us humans are painfully subjective creatures, but if a subjective human is all you have that will work perfectly fine for your own results.
variables to consider:
Wood vs Aluminum (since most probably don’t have CF)
Aluminum sheet VS Aluminum grate
Thickness of sole and style of boot I.e. hiker vs mud boot
Insulation level of boot
What you could keep constant:
Temperature
Sock
Keep the size and piece of aluminum the same
time on the stand
You kids have fun! I can’t wait to see your try fold poster board science projects. Presentations will be February 11th.
I dont know these things. Are they like slippery dumplings?
Fishin boots not hunting.
Me: So I sat all morning. I didn't see any deer. But I figured out which platform shoe combination works best in the cold weather.While the discussion of physics and engineering on saddlehunter from folks with BS degrees from google are exceedingly painful for me to read through, I am proud to see so many of y’all going back to the basics we learned in 3rd grade.

Idk, I feel like this one is much simpler and doesn't require the scientific method or even basic math. what transfers heat away from a boot faster, a heat sink or an insulator? aluminum is the most commonly used material for heat sinking, and is widely understood to efficiently transfer heat from a solid surface to air. I've not once seen carbon fiber used as a heat sink, and I've seen it used for a lot of ridiculous purposes just because of cool-factor. Heck I even saw a company use it for a hunting platform.While the discussion of physics and engineering on saddlehunter from folks with BS degrees from google are exceedingly painful for me to read through, I am proud to see so many of y’all going back to the basics we learned in 3rd grade.
