carpet soles

i tried the carpet on the wading boots trick this week they work
fanbloodytastic i could even walk along slippery wet logs with relative
ease, stood at the lip of an overflow with no signs of slipping at all they
seem to work better than the feltsoled boots i had.
bought myself a wading staff so i can balance myself and now i can wade with
complete confidence.
thanks for the tip guys
i always learn something in this group!

What kind of carpet did you use?

Russell

I don't know what kind of carpet he used, but I've found that shag carpet
works best for me. I've been using carpet for about 30 years. I suppose
shag carpeting is hard to come by these days, since shag has gone out of
style (good riddance). I'm just about out of my supply.
