  • TRUE OR FALSE?
    Campfires cause boot sole delaminations?
     
    True. Sitting at the campfire with your feet towards the fire may make you comfortably warm, but your boot soles could be close to melting. This can easily cause failure of the
    sole’s glue bond. If your boot soles are peeling, use Freesole® Urethane Adhesive for
    a permanent fix.

    Keep knots and kinks from jamming in your throw bag by stuffing it correctly! Step 1. Untangle and spread out your rope on a clean surface. Step 2. Turn your back to your rope, drape it over your shoulder and begin to coil it into your throw bag. Step 3. Ensure you’re stuffing the bag evenly and that kinks are untwisting behind you.
