Thanks. I have a couple different types of 'booties' that he's used to wearing on crystallized ice and snow that would work well.
Having said that, I've decided that the combination of my age, added weight since my last tours, and his 100 lbs, is just too much
for a tour of 3750 miles. The good advice I received from this site helped with my decision as well.
