Great video Wolfmaan. Here I thought it was going to be a concussion from the rock hitting your head as opposed to the ankle but your skull must be like mine and it did more damage to the rock lol. Is there a local place to get vet wrap or just online?

@CdnLifeguard71 I purchase my vet wrap from Minor Brothers farm supply in Niagara-on-the-Lake, or HorseWorld in St. Catharines.

@thekodiak72 You're not being an ass. My body has evolved to not require shoes. Something many people cannot seem to comprehend. If your body requires shoes and it is the only safe way you can venture into the wilderness, it is beter than not going at all! Thanks for watching!
