Good quality equipment is always worth the cost, but most of my guys couldn't afford anything but the cheap imports. Since we were planning for over 100 miles, I wanted to be prepared for about anything. First Aid Kit was much larger than repair kit. The superglue we used was actually part of that. Cheers! -Mike F

First, never attempt to use an old pair of cheap jungle boots a few years after the last trip. My soles came completely off on days 1&2 (of 10). For immediate repairs, we used some strips of bicycle inner tube and managed to get through the day. At camp, we used Gorilla Glue and Gorilla Tape to fix the soles. On Day 9, one boot needed a little more attention, but got me through the trip! I also used a little Superglue gel to make sure the tape didn't start pulling off. (That was the worst $35 I ever saved.) I would love to post photo of the boots, but can't figure out how using iPhone. I'm not really new to forum, but been off for about 8 years.
