More snow coming, time to make snowshoes?

Post by Raven »

Saw a few people on my bushcraft forum were discussing snowshoes, so I thought I'd drop a link in here. What with the problems some of you had with the last snow it might be an idea!

Theres a few designs on there. I was wondering if something like willow could be used, tied in an oval like you do for a wreath with leather, canvas or webbing strapping like these NATO ones?

I doubt I'll ever have enough snow in Northampton to need them, but thought it might be something for the more snowy areas to think about :-D

Do they do them with a 6" heel and do they come in any other colours. If not I can't see our lady members going for them :-D
