Foot care for hunters

[woodsman1991]

Coming from the climbing world, moleskin and athletic tape are two key ingredients for extended back country trips.

Am I the only weirdo that carries my dog's chuck it ball to roll my foot arches after long days? Plus it gives you endless hours of entertainment (Think like Steve McQueen and you can be the mountain's very own 'Cooler King'!)

But yes… keep those feet and teeth (and your wife) happy!

I had a sock tear once while doing some mtn goat surveys. Ended up packing the heal of my boot with shed wool from the creatures themselves. Best option I have used to date to stop a hot spot from spreading. Get creative if you have to and save those feet.

I added these to my med kit years ago and have saved several hunts for myself and buds hunting with me. They really protect a heel from further damage. They protect and add slipperyness in socks so it doesn't get aggravated more.
