you guys are way better than me when i dig in sticky clay i end up covered in the stuff. boots twice the size spade hands face covered in the slippery stuff. slipping and sliding and usually end up arse over tit. its easier to get on the shovel than it is to get off. i usually end up looking like the fcuking swamp monster. and thats just at my work. and the hacks i get, dont get me started on the hacks.. . foxdropper touched on the subject of coat. i had a really rough coated dog years ago that got into real trouble a couple of times in this type of wet clay and couldnt move forward or back h
