    They're cut down versions of the taller ones. Can't remember the name now. Edit: perths?? I liked a bit more height. I would cut a peice of steel box section in half and cut teeth into it. These were then bolted in front of the heel. Worked well. Allowed me to hop from root to root using my 'claws' as I called them. Funny how you could go from avoiding slippery roots to look g for them.
    I then went to strap ones and changed to a boot with a better sharper side to the sole and the bullers were super dangerous on some of the steep goat ground,/bluffs etc.

    Ashleys. That's them. I used to cut the top two lace holes off so they were short enough, otherwise they bit into your shin.

    Yeah MB. It was some careful shooting with the town that close.
    Then on the other side is the dam with the concern of an animal the water. Had to drag any animals well away from water ways.

    But I guess it was not such a big deal they'd probably been crapping in the water their entire lives?

    Decomposing bodies leaching into a waterway is a bit different to a animal having a pee or a poo close to/in a water way I’d imagine.

    I live close to Havelock North..... tell that to the people trying to use HN water crisis to reorganise the 'three waters'.

    But yeah I'm not keen on dead animals in my water supply either. All of us on rainwater tanks have had the odd possum flavour in our water supply at some time, tasted bad but never made us sick for some reason.
