Snowshoes and a dog
I recently bought a pair of snowshoes from Jarrod Stonedahl, and finally got a change to test them.
First problem was no lampwick, but an old polyester strap came in handy for the bindings:
There is really no need for the ends to be tied around the ankles, but I do not want to cut them before I know for certain that I have the proper sizing.
Me and the dog went up on the ridge, to test them in forest and on slopes.
The dog tried to tell me that Alaskan malamutes were not actually intended for snowy countries, but for sleeping on couches...
Ok, it was a bit of work for her...
I persisted, and was rewarded.
