Barefoot Bushman Pedicure Tips
Our resident Barefoot Bushman, Steve McIntosh loves to go barefoot around the camp, so you can imagine the state of his feet!
Steve can fix just about anything and he knows how to survive in the bush.
So, when his feet are in need of mending his bush survival techniques are put to good use.
His pedicure tip for anyone going barefoot in the bush is to apply a little super glue to any cuts.
And, any rough patches he grinds off with an orbital sander (ie 60 grit sand-paper).
Steve reckons it’s very gentle, but probably not quite as effective as a trip to the beautician, which of course Steve wouldn’t do in a million years.
