This boot cleaning kit is compact enough to be taken away and comprehensive enough for most applications.
It consists of 2 brushes, 1 tin of black pollish and a tin of neatral all carried in a handy pouch.
Most people think it is an un-neccesary luxury in the field but believe me they are wrong, the most important part of you is your feet. If you can't walk you can't eat, collect water and so on.
We all carry plenty of spare socks, foot powder and boot care materials as if your boots are scuffed and cracked they will simply let the water in, then your boots become saturated and they are extremly difficult to dry out. This is the fastest way to Trench Foot is to have permantly wet boots.
Take care of your kit and it will take care of you!
