Down to my last tub of the old Kiwi Mink Oil . Can't find a replacement Mink Oil for Leather Boots and Mittens. Is there any Company that still makes it ???

Make your own. Get some ranch mink carcasses which are plenty fat. Cut off as much fat as you can, render it down and strain the clean oil off. You can mix/blend in some bear grease and you have the best water proofing dope available.

Make your own-the best for waterproofing is the oil from the beaver oilstones.Make sure it is fresh and preserved-not rancid.No water will ever get through it rubbed on your leather boots or mitts.
Just be careful or carry a gun if you're in bear country.
Bears will do anything to check out the smell of rancid beaver oilstones.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Mink oil is all over the web, but I started using Obenauf's for boots and leather gloves several years ago and never looked back. Bit pricey, but good stuff

Have had better results with Sno-seal , but that's hard to find now too.

Still got a tin of mink oil i use on my boots. Best stuff for water proofing and staying dry.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
