John-B 4 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 OK guys, thinking about getting a pair of trousers to go out ferreting in as where me and Col-g go ferreting it is in quite think undergrowth of blackberry thorn, rose, holly and winny bushes so ideally something thornproof and breathable as the banks are really steep and lots of climbing involved so don't want to be sweating my danglies off, we have both got home today, Col has got a hole in his eyelid and thorns everywhere, my legs, arms and even my ears have thorns in them, sounds a bit like ferreting hell but thats the lengths we have to go to get a few bunnies (anyone want to invite us to some nice flat open grassland? ) I'm all sorted with boots and wellies, gloves and hat etc etc just more trouser protetion required, any ideas???

Sterry 0 Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Wax chaps aggain here, but heavy brambles can still shread them but at least it take a few seassons to do so opposed to a few hours (no exaggeration). and what you describe sounds like % of my ferreting soo, you not alone mate.

jazz_11 5 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 i use wax chaps for beating, great because if you get anything on your hand you wipe it on them, and also where we go beating the thorns are up to your chest area and you have to make your own path.... hard work but good fun... get some chaps mate as everyone says Quote Link to post
