hello and welcome to P&W best life today
0:03
we're going to be talking about what to
0:05
wear when out at the beach Ray's digging
0:09
razor clams I recently took a good
0:11
friend out who had never been before and
0:14
I mentioned to him that he should wear
0:17
warm clothing and boots to the occasion
0:20
so that was a big mistake on my part
0:24
and he didn't understand that I meant
0:29
waterproof boots so that was a big
0:34
mistake on my part and which is very
0:37
important being on the beach with the
0:39
waves and potential to get wet I told
0:47
him to bring snow boot definitely one
0:49
have some waterproof boots so we have a
0:53
little miscommunication there where he
0:57
ended up bringing some kind of hiking
0:58
boots or snow boots or something and got
1:01
a little wet so me
1:06
you know help anyone out who also may be
1:11
wondering what to wear out first time
1:13
razor clamming I was thought I'd go
1:16
through a couple of a couple of options
1:18
here is what we have here is a good
1:23
place to start is probably with the
1:25
boots and so you can not spend a lot of
1:29
money on your basic pair of barn boots
1:33
here rubber barn boots you tell they've
1:37
been used quite a bit but they will get
1:40
the job done keep your feet dry
1:43
assuming you're tucking your pants into
1:45
your boots always a good idea we're here
1:48
we have a good pair of muck boots
1:51
it's been very good keeping your feet
1:54
both dry and and warm cost a little bit
1:58
more with these type of boots I like to
2:02
go with one of these VIP setups here
2:08
very very good for keeping everything
2:13
dry and you can also wear them out on a
2:18
boat that one for waders
2:23
a great rain jacket to go with that
2:25
cheap effective
2:27
rain jacket one of the things you'll
2:29
learn up Pacific Northwest recreative
2:33
outdoors is difference between between
2:37
water resistant and waterproof I
2:40
definitely you want things that are
2:43
waterproof you can get that pretty
2:46
cheaply with something like this which
2:49
is free pretty heavy
2:50
kind of PVC style coat not Winnie
2:55
fashion points but a lot cheaper than
2:58
going something like gore-tex and then
3:01
finally you can go full weight or setup
3:04
so here got a pair of chest waders
3:08
stocking feet chest waders with the
3:11
wading boots this will keep you this
3:15
will keep you completely dry as well it
3:18
works with a good layering system with
3:22
warm clothes it can be obviously matched
3:25
with rain jacket or whatever else just
3:28
uh just a few ideas that you can use to
3:32
stay dry stay comfortable when you're
3:36
not doing something like razor clam
3:37
digging or or anything out in the
3:39
elements certainly with razor clam
3:42
digging you do have to get down to where
3:45
the waves are kind of coming in a little
3:48
bit sometimes and and it's really hard
3:51
to not end up in in some standing water
3:55
I definitely dress for the occasion my
4:02
brother DC ships
4:04
it's first time out
4:06
digging for clams is addressed to the
4:11
occasion and yeah I told him to bring
4:18
snow boots and so that was a big mistake
4:20
on my part
4:21
me
4:33
