These were the items of clothing worn by the Indians of old. Leather trousers would be ideal for working in the woods, it's true, but ordinary old pants will do as well. However, you can make cheap, long-lasting moccasins yourself.
You need an old tire, preferably one on which the tread has not been completely worn off. This will make your moccasins skid-proof.
It is really simple to make them. According to your imagination and ability, you can make anything from simple slippers to magnificently embroidered moccasins. Cut out a piece of rubber that is the size and shape of your foot and remove the excess rubber sticking up on the sidewalls. You can use this as "leather" for the tops.
You can either sew the pieces together with twine or tarred cord, or cement or staple them together. Fasten them on your feet with laces drawn through the loops sewn around the top.
But moccasins are not the only thing you can make for yourself. You can make many things that will contribute to your ease, comfort and fun in the out-of-doors.
