Leg Protection from Snakes, Hiking Boots and Waterproof Gaiters

How to protect your legs from snakebites, desert spinifex grass, bush thorns while hiking and we talk about waterproof snow hiking gaiters. Depending on which season or terrain I'm hiking in, depends on which gaiters I use; personally I have 3 different pairs of gaiters. 8oz GAITERS (Autumn & Spring) My standard bush walking gaiters are 8oz canvas and undoubtedly the most useful, I use them when hiking in the Australian bush in Autumn and Spring. Also I'd recommend 8oz canvas gaiters for jungle trekking (both dry or rainy season). The name of this product is Quagmire Gaiters. 22oz SNAKE GAITERS (Summer, Late Spring, Early Autumn) My 22oz canvas gaiters are my all round favourite for maximum protection. I took a pair of 8oz canvas gaiters and had a gear alterations company add an extra layer of 14oz canvas, making these gaiters almost 100% resistant to Australian snakebite! :-) We do a lot of off trail hiking in the warmest months in Australia. It's during these warmer months that Australian Snakes come out of hibernation and can be extremely dangerous. Whilst summer bush bashing in Australia (off trail hiking) I only feel comfortable if I have my 22oz gaiters on. Fortunately most fatal snakebites in Australia occur below the knee by people who have accidently stepped on a snake; even thick pants or sturdy boots could save your life in this situation. Some experts will say that the moment a snake's fangs touch anything of resistance their venom immediately starts to emerge; therefore any layer of fabric is better than nothing cause if you're lucky it'll be on the outside of your clothes :-) WATERPROOF GAITERS (Winter) Waterproof goretex gaiters are the right choice for snow hiking. But I would only recommend using waterproof gaiters if you already have waterproof shoes as well. Gaiters stop stones getting inside your shoes, if worn properly your shoe laces wont come undone as the gaiters cover that area, they also protect your legs from leeches, ants and other annoying critters. Experienced bushwalkers know that hiking without them can be a nightmare LOL TIME STAMPS Snake Proof Gaiters 1:52 Goretex Gaiters 5:08 8oz Bushwalking Gaiters 1:25 End Card 9:43 SHARE THIS VIDEO    • Leg Protection from Snakes, Hiking Boots a...   SUBSCRIBE to Bushchannel http://www.youtube.com/user/BUSHCHANN...
