Didn't want to highjack adkleaddog's thread, but he/she found a bear trap in the woods. This is something that I often think about while bushwacking. My questions are:
Has anyone ever found one still set, or heard of anyone getting caught?
What kind of trouble would a solo bushwacker be in if caught?
Would my leather LL Bean Cresta boots protect me, or would the teeth go through the leather, or bite me above the boot?
Could I walk after releasing a trap, or would it do enough bone damage to immobilize?
