Hello!

Some years old pictures.
First a minor candle flame

While wearing boots!
It penetrated my boots but not burnt my feet. Cool






Real thing

Hi there

How long have you liked burning and abusing wellies. how did ut all start?

I adore burning, cutting and trashing wellies, but thought it was just me. Please show us what else you do to them.

Hi!

This has been "my thing" from very young boy.
I have alaways had some strange exitement with wellies.
I was in elementary school, had some own money, then
bought first wellies "for fun".
Just can't explain why?

Bonus photo:
These ridingboots didn't survive this sticky mess.
(wheat flour + eggs + sugar and drying)
Guess what was the end

Morning

Did the riding boors end up crusty or far worse?????????

Have you ever burnt or trashed Hunter wellies? I have cut the back of a pair right to the floor and then laced them up, they look great

Keep abusing wellues.

I burnt my first pair of wellies on a Scout camp years ago, when I was about ten, putting out a campfire. I liked the way that my feet got hot from the flames but the boots protected me. The next year, when nobody was looking, I put my foot over the flames and let them melt the sole of my boot - unfortunately I have not had much chance to burn boots since then

The last time I tried was indoors (after I was married) - I had to make and burn a proper meal to hide where the soot and horrible smell had really come from!

Since then I have discovered that petrol seems to do funny things to wellies (makes them less flexible and go "crusty") if I "accidentally" spill some when refilling the lawn mower, and that leaving rubber boots in sunlight all year round makes them go funny colours after a while - all faded and streaky.

I also have an old pair of green wellies ( a bit like Hunters) with the right buckle bit broken (the metal snapped!) and they are quite worn down after several years - and they're no longer waterproof after I "accidentally" stepped on some barbed wire a few times.

I posted this a while ago. I have a big pair of bullseye hip waders which I love to abuse by taking into very deep mud. I go to the mudflats at low tide where there is plenty of soft deep mud just perfect for testing them to the limit and beyond. I get them really filthy and most trips end with me going out just a bit too far and the mud comes over the rims and I take a couple of huge bootloads of stinking black sludge. I keep them very dirty on the outside and the inside lining has rotted and smells aweful.
I just found a great new way to abuse them. I had just taken a couple of bootloads trying to wade across a deep river when I came upon a large unattended forestry bonfire in a campsite which has burnt down to a thick pile of red hot ashes. I thought I would dry my boots and walked into the ashes a couple of steps. I was amazed how well the thick rubber of the waders protected me from the heat and ventured on in to the center where I was surrounded by red hot ash a foot or more deep. There was a pungent smell burning rubber by this time but I was able to stomp around for a few more seconds before the heat finally penetrated the waders and I had to make a quick exit, frantically kicking them off to prevent my feet cooking. They were lying on the grass with smoke coming off the burning soles and steam out the tops! they and me really had a hard time this day! As soon as they'd cooled down, I pulled then on again and ventured back in again and again. Was great fun, and I felt sure I would burn a big hole but they were just very badly scorched and are now a bit crispy in places but remain watertight. Can?t wait to do it again this time with them plastered in mud for a bit more protection.
