EDC/GHB latest addition

[Pete Grey]

I was just joking MB but your right, if you have to abandon your vehicle and move out on foot, if your boots do not give adequate ankle support, strapping you ankles is worth doing, especially if you are on rough ground and carrying a load, as you are more likely to twist your ankle and with a load like a heavy pack more damage will be done.

A good few years ago i was walking solo in snowdonia, on a reasonably good path, and late in the day i turned my ankle (and i was wearing good walking boots), it took me 2 1/2 hours to walk just over a mile to my car mostly in the dark, fortunately i was well equipped with a FAK and a torch in my kit.

I would not like to be in that position on foot in a SHTF situation, if strapping helps to prevent it then it’s worth doing.
