Put this together tonight.. found a good spot but soft mud.. the hi he's hinge with yyour foot at you walk for easy walking... haha.. total investment 10.00 lol

Prediction is face first

I'm looking forward to an honest review...

You should have made this a poll to see what people really think will happen.

A) dark-thirty cussing and they get tossed in the lake.

B) it worked great and you'll keep using them

C) no difference


I'm going with A, but I hope I'm wrong and they work out for ya.

Please have someone video this!

Shoulda bought a whataburger instead!

If it fails, I give you an "A" for effort.

...paint 'em orange and quack alot. Could save you hundreds on decoys...

But seriously hope they work.

I'd drill a few holes in them so you don't form a suction.

Good luck.



Like he said, suction could be a problem, snowshoes are more open, same principle, but no clue on mud.

Might drive Beaver crazy.

A+ for creativity. C for fit & finish As stated, hope they work but I predict a lot of cussing in the near future

Minimum I would think you would need to drill a bunch of large holes in them so that they will actually lift back off the mud. Mostly I think they have the potential to get you just far enough out into the mud to get yourself into a pickle you will not be able to get out of on your own.

And then there was this many years ago


"They'll revolutionize duck hunting," predicts Frank Ruth, Kelso, Wash., of his amazing new mud-walking shoes.
"People who've tried them think they also might find favor with irrigation farmers, or with farmers who have to contend with flooded fields or muddy feedlots."
Ruth's Mud Lucks are made from pneumatic inner tubes about the size found on a big wheelbarrow. They're reinforced with two layers of nylon and measure 10 by 14 in. and weigh less than 4 lbs. each. They can be worn with most types of regular footwear, such as tennis shoes or knee-high rubber boots, and there is no right or left foot to worry about. Strapped to the tube is a wooden plat-form with adjustable fittings that adjust to any foot size.
"The tubes create a leveling action in that they distribute air pressure evenly at all times," explains Ruth. "In muddy shallows or marshland, there's no need to send a bird dog after fallen ducks. The hunter can walk or run over and pick them up himself."
Ruth cautions, however, that while you can buoyantly traipse over hip-deep mud and marshland with Mud Lucks, they're not for walking on deeper water: "The inflated tubes could suddenly head for the surface, turning the wearer upside down. My son flipped upside down in a pool of water because of the bouyancy of the boots and only saved himself by reaching up to remove them. We now equip them with, quick release straps," Ruth points out.
The Mud Lucks sell for $90 per pair.

Put a small diameter fat ATV tire tube under your plywood and you will have mud lucks.

My prediction is that it will eventually morph into some half baked plan like this:
Necessity is the mother of invention! Please, please, please, at minimum, a pic of the results. If not for a good laugh, than just to prove all us duck codgers wrong. These are the types of threads I love the most.

I predict lots of cussing and unfortunately you covered in mud

Hope I'm wrong for your sake!

Haha.. its the first attempt.. if it goes well I 2ill make a better version.. but good thoughts on the suction issue.. will try it tomorrow afternoon.. if I end up throwing th3m into the lake I will still ha e the waders on at least lol

I wish I had someone going with me to.film it.. becuase the video would be epic either way.. either a great success or a great laugh.. haha but won't know until you try right? Haha

Just take a selfie video

I used a pair of plastic snowshoes. They are light and made walking on mud a breeze. Wading some of the Florida backcountry there were a must.

Please do not try this alone, my Dad got stuck in the mud when I was in high school, thanks to football I was strong enough to pull him out of his boots, and then we both pulled the boots out. Still laugh about that today.

It's not that bad where you sink to you knknees or anything I am just tired fighting past ankles.. if I ever sink to far I crawl out, get wet and call it a day. But at least I am safe haha...

3 more ebola cases within 21 days...

Well?

Well it seems we may need to start a search and rescue for jtprocaddie!! He got too far out in the mud and the shoes failed and now hes been waste deep for days!!! lol

Gotta give the kid an 'A' for effort.

+2 on the face first. I would at least cut the front corners off.

And bring plenty of rope to pull your azz back to safety.

This is about the only thing you can do in mud
