Jason, Snake guards and a machete? Wow sounds like a good outdoors job. Gator hunting? You all got them mean water moccasins down there in Florida. Here we have copper heads and rattle snakes. They don't come after you like them cotton mouths do. I have to wear safety toed shoes where I work. Lots of standing on a concrete floor. Something happened to my legs last year. I know I'm a little over weight, but my legs and knees hurt so bad I was afraid I was going to be cripple in a couple of years. I get off in the mornings and hit the sack as soon as I get home. My legs would hurt so much I would have to move them every couple of minutes till I fell asleep. I couldn't lay on my side or my knees would ache. Last fall when I was camping I couldn't sit in the canoe for very long cause my knees would hurt real bad. I would constantly move my legs back and forth. It felt better to be standing and walking then sitting. I've gone through several pairs of insoles in the past 3 months. I am pretty flat footed, so shoes, or insoles, with any type of arch kills my legs. Make sure you get boots with the foot bed that fits you feet well. A person can always get insoles with an arch support, but if your boots already have a molded in arch support there's not much you can do if it's to much.
Dancer, yep I'm a master of disaster. I'm the type of person that just jumps on into a project. Sometimes you better off paying someone else to do it. I'm getting ready to build a work shop. I've got to do some excavating and pour a concrete pad. I've never worked a concrete pad before, so I've been studying up on it. Here I go...yeehaw! I'm sure I'll mess something up, but it'll be a learning experience.
