[@Desertpagan]

So very interesting! The contrast between the two shoes is remarkable, and a reflection of your wisdom and generosity. You, sir, are indeed a renaissance man. Thank you!

Hi Mikko. Love your work!

Hi Mikko, thanks for sharing your Boot Grease recipe. I made up a big batch, but had to use beef tallow. Works like a charm! Many thanks, Vernon

I love when you spit on your boots to clean them, my mother would spit on a tissue to clean the dirt off my face when I was a little child. It doesn't get any more traditional... Great video...

Thank you again, Mikko.

Anyone else wonder how someone ever came up with the idea to mix beeswax, tallow, and pine tar to make leather conditioner???😮😮😮

I bought some military surplus items with leather on them from Varusteleka. I've been looking for a way to make my own leather grease. Kiitos!

[@mikkosnellman]

Ole hyvä - You are welcome!

the moment you spit i just know you can be trusted

What does "Nahkaraswa" mean (on the lid)?

[@mikkosnellman]

Leather grease in Finnish

Looks like snus in that little tin.

[@varangjar1544]

This is why to save the tins))

My tar does not seem to mix with the tallow and wax at all - what could be wrong?

[@mikkosnellman]

Try higher heat. And remember to warm up all of the ingredients.
