    Tips to stop sock from slipping down

    I tend to wear Thorlo military socks with wellies. They are long socks and don’t fall down. I have some soft shell fleece trousers that bunch up easily in wellies. They seem to push my other socks down.

    What wildlife did you spot today?

    A couple of field voles (I think) ran over my boots when walking along the edge of the edge of the North Downs. Cracking day. Saw a Hare in the woods on Monday, which was also a nice day. Heavy rain and wind in my neck of the woods tomorrow. Should be interesting.

    Paracord winders Atwood Ready Rope verses Boonies Spool Tool

    Of the two I like the Ready Rope more because of the bigger internal storage. Price wise the Spool Tool is about £8 and there are a couple of colours. The Ready rope is £12 but I got mine with 30’ of cord for £18.
