Wear the anklets on the outside of the boots. Bootlets? Reminds me of 
when I first came here and ticks were thick. I wore dog flea collars 
on the outside of my boots. That, plus dipping jeans into a sulphur 
solution for the bottom twelve inches or so, kept ticks and chiggers 
from crawling up onto me from thick grass and such.
