My buddy and I were coon hunting in southern Michigan 20 years ago, near a lake and swamp. Buddy comes slouching up to me and says he fell through the swamp and he never touched the bottom, his shoulders stopped him. It rattled him for sure. Glad your ok.
CTO gaiters from Murdochs, I have beat the piss out of these things, Ive had to do some fixes here and there for sure. For $30, hands down worth every penny. Im at least 5 years on this pair.
Unless Im reading this wrong. Im unfortunately going to be breaking the law. I spend on average 3 days a month camping on forest service land, in these areas. Thats one 3 day weekend a month.
