Improvised Footwear to Keep Your Feet Warm and Dry...😍

Improvised footwear can be made out of something as simple as cloth and grass or newspapers. Grass has been used by northern natives and hunters/trappers, for a long time to help insulate their feet and preserve their socks.

They put the dry grass between their socks and boots or footwraps. Good dry grass will absorb the perspiration and your socks will be dryer. The Grass will add another layer of insulation to keep your feet warm (as you get colder your body will make sure the core stays warm and your extremities such as your hands and feet will get much cooler)

If you can’t find dry grass, make a wooden “grate” and dry the grass near a fire, make sure you don’t burn the grass. Newspapers can also be use in place of grass. This often works best if shredded or fluffed up. The whole idea of improvise footwear is to keep your feet dry and warm.
