I can tell you are getting old. Not only wanting knee pads, but posting the same question 10 times

 

I take a gardener's kneeling pad with me. They are only a couple of quid.

I know mate,i dont know how i managed that ! LOL.You right, i am getting old,cause i prefer to put both knee pads on. ha-ha.

Iv'e thought about knee pads a few time, but thats all it was..a thought...got to hang on to my reputation and image these day's , im klinging on for dear life but its ebing away like the tide waits for no man

 

Only kidding, im as fit as a butchers dog, But im going to have to go because my back is killing and my knees knackerd

Yep, ive an old camping kip mat cut into squares and tucked into the knee pockets of my work trousers. Saves alot of grumbling.

Yep, kneepads always worn.

I have a cutout on my work trousers but prefer the external type with velcro straps. Any type will do for me. Can't see the need for anything expensive. I wear them primarily to save my trousers getting caked in mud. Plus it saves me kneeling in the snow/frost in the winter or on sharp stones or thorns etc.

Not getting too old yet I don't think

I use these for molecatching and walling - Dry Stone Walling Association £11.00 they're good and would last for years if you were only using them for trapping...couple of years for walling tho...

How long does it take U to set a trap then. I know im the younger than most mole trappers by the time your kneeling down its time to get back up again

You boys that use knee pads can't be doing much walking in them.........

Walk as far as I need to in them - from field to field...if walking a longer distance I'll just take them off, stick them in my bag and kick on...no problem...

 

I'm sure your input into this thread was valued...I know I have learned a lot from it!!!

Well mate funny you should ask,cause im CERTAINLY not one of the fastest molecatchers, but it doesnt bother me.I have never rushed setting a mole trap,and im comfortable with it.
