    My new shoes...

    I just got today my new snowshoes, Innu style 20”x30” birch frame and 400lbs test mono and 3/4” poly webbing hitch! These things are amazing, they are light and they float me high on the snow and are easy to walk in!! The hitch is a bit different than the one I use, but I think it is a bit better!!

So for many years I was thinking of making one for...
