Re: My first elephant hunt!

Erik,

Yes, I wear gaiters. I left the last pair with the tracker who I gave my boots to. After it rained, he put his boots by the fire to dry and burned a hole in the toe of one boot. So I left the fellow my boots and gaiters. He was so pleased you would have thought I had bought him a new wife.

So I just bought some new gaiters from Boyt's for US$11.

I was thinking of making some out of deer skin and elastic, but I can't find the deerskin that I had some years ago. Maybe I will have to buy a new deerskin, because with the right elastic, that should make perfect gaiters.
