In the woods or in the field? Or you talking on an old logging road? Maybe its not as thick where you are, I know they wouldn't work where we bear hunt up there in Northern Minnesota! There's way to much downfall and were lucky if we can see 10' ahead in spots without poking an eye out, its damn thick! We have a hard enough time walking through the woods without carrying anything! You have a pic of this thing? The good thing is it works where you go, I sure wish they worked where we hunt up there!
