Brian, I know it has only been a view more days since your review, but anymore input on these boots? Looking at these and the Trans Alaskans and can’t decide between the two. Are the Apex completely waterproof? Also sizing, I wear a size 10 shoes, what size should be good the Baffin? Thanks!

Get an automotive funnel or a funnel with a thin stem. Cut off the part of the funnel that is wide until it gets to about the same size as the rod. stick the rod into the wide end of the funnel. No swearing needed! Also any farm store has the castration bands that they use for the cold snap outdoor bands and they are way cheaper.
