Wet Knees!

[Cedric 132]

Any suggestions on keeping my knees dry when kneeling down to shoot in wet grass, apart from full overtrousers. I like to kneel down with an extended bipod at night.

Knee pads

 

Sometimes wear them to keep the knees dry and clean

 

I once knelt in dog shit

Avoid the rigid ones as they tend to split over time.

 

My friend who's a tiler uses some flexible ones. Don't know the brand off the top though.

dickies ones i think, fit into my combats and work well

...or just toughen-up. As the vicar once said 'it'll just be a mild discomfort'.

Well, I suppose if I was a real yokel I could just kneel on the bottom of my smock !!

I'll have a look at the Dickies pads. I did wonder about those nylon gaiter things walkers wear but not sure how well the would stay up.

Fishing waders cut off above the knees.

Looking at the bulge at the front, it would help if you let the vicar out first!

I've got some 'fancy' green deerstalking trousers that have waterproof patches sewn in on the knees

and the 'backside', they are very good, but also very warm, so if your 'marching' they are way

too hot, I only wear them if it's really cold and I am ambushing.

Got them at the CLA Gamefair a couple of years ago (circa £65).

I might try getting a seamstress to sew a couple of waterproof patches on some regular trousers, I don't need anything too warm as I've turned into a warm weather shooter with my advancing years. Some of the overtrousers seem to crinckle a bit, too noisy.

 

Whilst I'm at it I need to find some springy boots !! Jumping over barbed wire fences at my age is getting harder - not so much the jumping but the landing !!
