Canvas Putties - noisy and can rub legs unless worn with long pants, best reserved for Beekeeping for which they are excellent

I have been a fan of horse bandages for many years, never fail when putting them on around camp to hear whinnying...but then I have taken one off to strap up a hunting companion who twisted an ankle two hours from camp...sure as hell beat having to half carry him back.
