Thanks for all of the feedback!

Have you ever taped ankles? When I played football and had recurring ankle injuries we always taped ankles. It was a lot more supportive than an ace bandage and held up better. Ace bandages are nice for consistent compression, but for ankle injuries, now days, I prefer tape.

The one thing I wouldn't have in the backcountry is pre-wrap... but that just means you loose are your ankle hair at the end of the day. My football coach always seemed to get at least one wrap of tape off the pre-wrap... I'm pretty sure he wanted us to pull out some hair at the end of the day so we knew what it was like "back in the day"
