Farmer south of here that we coyote hunt on slipped on the ice this weekend choring the cattle and hit his head, funeral is Friday. I fell twice tonight feeding, cleats on boots now. Damn Ice

You have that right Russ. It's not slick here, but it's hazardous when it is.

we have a solid 1/2 inch under the new snow, can't wait for a couple of warm days to take it away. Will need to drive the fields if we get snow, no way to stay on the roads and I'll be damned if I take a tractor even with chains on the lane next to the gully's to clear snow

These are the best grippers I’ve ever used. Pricier than others but WAY better and a hell of a lot cheaper than broken bones...or funerals.

Condolences to your neighbor.

will take a hard look at them, mine are old WW2 issue crampons that were given to me by a neighbor in the 60's but the web straps are getting bad
