As for responses to the ideas so far....anklets are out...my boots would
tear up and break the rattles....
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.
