We were given a large canvas bag and that was it. The bag had been designed in the 1890s, and was still made by guests of Her Majesty in the 1970s. We filled it and then emptied it. Never any interest in its design Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
CFM Frodo Posted August 20, 2020 Author CFM Report Posted August 20, 2020 i used p ba a paper boy back in the early 70's I had a canvas bag with straps we tied to the handle bars of my bike Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M
Contributing Member fredk Posted August 20, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Back to your gaiters. I presume all the straps pull it closed up right around so there is not much gap? My father was wearing gaiters whilst in a great-uncle's Florida orange grove when he got struck by a (rattler?) snake. They had to lop the snake head off as the fangs were so locked into the leather. This is what he told me. Possible, or was he spinning the tale? Edited August 20, 2020 by fredk Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

There are many prairie rattlers here but most are small enough that typical boots are high enough to protect you . I have killed a couple four footers in my life but they are rare.

Members Thadrick Posted March 10, 2024 Members Report Posted March 10, 2024 Sooooo Who's going to test them to see if they work? Lol I'm interested in these, I'm not afraid of snakes at all but I can't hear them anymore. I used to keep a dog around to let me know there is a snake inbound but someone stole her out of my truck while I was at the truck stop using the can. Now I don't have a dog and wouldn't know if I was standing on a rattler until I'm stung. What thickness are you using?
