Read your story on moccasins with interest.I would like to share a story of an old trapper I knew back in the 50's , who ran a trap line in northern Canada during the winter and wore only moccasins. He took heavy moose hide, anchored it at the toe and ran it back to the heel and anchored it, when it wore through he just replaced the replaceable sole. In the winter rivers and streams tend to flood ever once in a while. His method to cross them was to dip his foot quickly in the water and then out building up a layer of ice on each foot (at 20-40 below) doesn't take long and then continue on his way, back on the trail the ice would soon crack off. I talk to him in 54 and he had been trapping his registered line since 29. Any body wants to talk further PM your # and we can talk. Cheers NC P.S. good stalking.
