Fossils are found in pretty diverse locations. This requires many different modes of transportation. From cars, to boots, to boats let’s see your favorite way to get to those eurypterids, brachiopods, and dinosaurs! For starters, here are my favorite modes. My trusty Salomon Quest 4D 3 GTX’s get me around the desert where my bike can’t go.

Curious if anyone else has this problem. I usually buy hiking boots to wear when collecting. A lot of my collecting is on roadcuts, so I spend many hours sideways on rocky slopes. The pressure of my feet pushing sideways on the boots, plus the wear to the outer edges from brushing against rocks, leads most of my boots to start splitting on the edges after less than 6 months. This is getting to be quite expensive.... Does anyone else have this problem? Is there are different kind of boot I should be wearing? Or is this just on par with others' experiences?

I'm always buying new wellington boots as the sharp shale on the beach always splits them. Does anybody have any recommendations of hardwearing waterproof wellies that last a long time for beach collecting? Thanks

Hey all, I do a lot of shark tooth hunting around Charleston, SC and am in need of new boots. I am not in creeks or anything. It is usually on islands (Drum Island, Morris Island, Cat Island for those that know the area) and a couple other land spots that can get very muddy. I have been wearing these Sperry boots but am curious if there is something out there that would be better. Primarily just looking for a pair that will keep my feet warm and dry and are easy to spray down afterward. I have been looking at some fishing boots like the ones below, but I feel like there is something better out there. https://www.xtratuf.com/collections/men/products/mens-12-in-legacy-boot-copper-tan https://pelagicgear.com/products/expedition-12-deck-boot-blackcharcoal?variant=29958229262414&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI9d2UksCD7gIVBaGGCh326A2pEAQYASABEgJ0JfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Apologies if there is already a thread on this. If so feel free to point me to it, but I didn’t see one when I searched. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
