[QUOTE="Ben78, post: 50947, member: 206"] I wear heavy canvas pants (Kmart $29 the ones with kneepads) when I am in the bush, together with lace up work boots (ankle support) and over the lot goes a set of British army surplus gaiters. There is metal clips and buttons in the gaiters but it doesn't seem to affect the detector. In the backpack goes a first aid kit. That said, before I had kids and I was young dumb and full of errr myself I did a lot of trout fishing on the tablelands, only ever wore jeans and joggers. Saw two tigers in that time and both could not get away fast enough - one through the water, those buggers can swim fast! I stood directly on two red belly black snakes, again they just bolted. I've probably been quite lucky in that regard! Now I have kids I value my life a bit higher I guess, either that or I have realised I'm not bulletproof lol! So yeah, PPE all the way! [/QUOTE]
