Even more dangerous when you come upon steaming bear scat in the snow, thought those tracks looked too fresh!💩 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, he said that the jump from one log to the other appeared impossible without cork boots. Could you imagine attempting the feat with stompers strapped on!?

ShadowBorn Posted December 29, 2018 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2018 Now with a mid tarsal break would that not make their feet flexible so that it would wrap some what on the tree laying on the floor. The same goes with them stepping and the way they walk through the forest with that flex. Now I have seen some tracks and they just seem strange to me on how they step. It is not like how we would step. It would seem that they would have more flex on climbing trees as well as walking up right. As far as there being snow on the falling trees on the ground I would think that you would see some type of slippage on those trees. Yet none and still they have their balance as with Humans not so well depending how big the tree is. As for my self I sure as heck would not chance it for the case of a broken ankle or leg or getting my leg getting caught stuck between two trees in the case of slippage.. Just will not risk it alone or with my son in back woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntster Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 If you try jumping from one downed tree to another several feet away (both covered with snow) with some sort of stompers on, or walk a few miles in snow through the woods in bare feet, I’ll bring the trauma kit and do my best to patch you up.
