	I'm glad this thread came up. I went and coupled the OTB boots with a pair of gaiters and I think I'm a happy camper. It's tough to put me in long pants and my Chota Mukluks had a sort of built in gaiter. Not so with the OTB boots. My shins would of likely taken a whoopin.

	Gaiters the other apron But they do make the pants last longer. And it will very impressive to have clean cuffs at the end of three weeks

	Shoot, I might not even wear pants the whole time cept in the morning around camp or if the skeets are vicious. I usually run in shorts and if it's really hot I take those off and I run in the next layer down. Can you say "breatheability". I'm thinking those Gaiters are going to be right handy.

	Ok.....I like these bloucing straps. They sent me like 6 of them and I think they are kind of nifty. Picture a little mini bungee cord complete with tiny metal hooks about 6" long and you have the picture. Strong for their size and weight. I am wracking my brain wondering what I could use them for.

I have a tiny one (sometimes referred to as an electric candle) that I hang. (With the focus cap removed it gives off light 360 X 180 degrees.) One bloucing strap might be useful for something like that. dd

	I do usually write at night. But I use my headlamp on its lowest setting. I just know these things are going to come in handy for something. I'm going to bring them as they are so light their impact will be negligible. I think they are absolutely perfect for the reason you first introduced them. No velcro to hassle with having to clean. Just wrap around your pant and off you go.
