What are the good reasons to not just use these things when crossing rivers? I know the corporations want you to buy expensive waterproof boots and whatnot but why not just slip the plastic sleeve over your leg and walk thru the river like that?
>>2789088Seems like a waste of money to me. I have a pair of waterproof boots, they were only $50. I also have a set of water shoes for rafting, $20. If you don't want to spend any money, just take your shoes off.
>>2789092These are $5
>>2789094Are you wading on toxic sludge? Why would you need them?
>>2789094You can buy a roll of ~30 heavy duty trash bags for $5 and they'll probably last longer too.
>>2789097So my feet don’t get wet in the cold
>>2789094welcome to /out/ where spending $5 is a waste of money but $355 on one piece if clothing isnt
best rule of river crossing is how fast you can make a fire on the other side
They'll rip instantly against rocks in the stream
>>2789088looks unnecessarily heavy and overbuilt. the bread bags trick works just fine.
