    Looks kinda slick on your path there. Might need to invest in a set of chains for your hooves so you don't slip.

    :cheers: Look close, there's a dozen sheet metal screws in that boot! Still had to be careful, especially on the sawdust.

    Now that ya point it out I see them. I have a set of elastic black slip over cleats that work great. Do you notice the screws pulling cold up into the soles of the boot?

    Neat idea on the nonslip boots. Not just a little bit of wood you're doin' there either.

    Nice work getting out there in not so great conditions. Love your "log holder". That has to make bucking a lot easier!!

    Started laughing as soon as I saw the pics of your soles! Hey, ya can't argue with success! I wonder what your wife would have thought if she showed up while you were using the drill putting screws into the bottoms of your boots!

    The ice when I was a kid must have been softer, it used to be funny to fall on it:headbang:

    fuelrod,
    Do you have/use a boiler or do you just buck wood like in Euro land, double length and then cut it in 1/2 later? Those bucked piece look 3' long ?
