Tuesday, March 6th Heading out shortly to pick up any buckets that blew over in the winds yesterday.
Lulu, I checked out the yaktrax and they look nice. They are definitely a step up (or two) from the brand I use. I purchased mine at Fleet Farm years ago. They are made by HT Enterprises and are called Sure Grip safety treads. They sell for about 6 dollars. They are made for ice fishermen and I see that Frabil also makes a similar set of cleats. My HT grips do not have a set of cleats on the heal. That has not been a problem as I remember the design and make sure that I plant my step on the ball of my foot rather than the heal. Mine have held up over the years but I try to make deliberate and 90 degree turns.
Time to check out the woods....later.
