Ice on my drive way, Ice on the steps up to my office, Ice on side walks, and everywhere else it hides. I don&#8217;t know what makes this winter so much more special then all the other past winters, but this year it seems whenever I am walking outside I am sure to slip. I have fallen more times then I want to admit since December.<\/p>\n<p>I knew that their are products you could put on your shows to help keep one from slipping and falling outside. I just had not tried to figure out what these products where.<\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwhickingphotos.com\" target=\"_blank\">Hannah&#8217;s folks<\/a> where staying with me, I noticed that they where waring things on their shoes. It kept them from slipping and falling during our visit to the <a title=\"Wiki artical on the Mendenhall Glacier\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mendenhall_Glacier\" target=\"_blank\">Mendenhall Glacier<\/a>. What they where wearing was called &#8220;<a title=\"Amazon.com Product Page For Yaktrax\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00144BJ38?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=yousephtanha-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00144BJ38\" target=\"_blank\">Yaktrax<\/a>&#8220;. I was so impressed with how well they where working that the next day we went out and I\u00a0 picked up a pair of <a title=\"Amazon.com Product Page For Yaktrax\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00144BJ38?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=yousephtanha-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00144BJ38\" target=\"_blank\">Yaktrax<\/a> to strap on to my own shoes. These things are pretty awesome. Whenever I am about to go out side I strap them on.\u00a0 I have not slipped for fallen since.<\/p>\n<p>The idea here is pretty simple and makes sense. A rubber mesh wraps around the bottom and sides of your shoes or boots, and is secured with a velcro strap that fixes it&#8217;s self across the top of your feet. The messh on the bottom is wrapped with stainless steel coils that give you traction on ice. They are life savers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This whole winter I have been slipping on ice.
