Hey, just wondering if anyone could tell me how I am supposed to put my bindings onto the snowshoes... Mine came separate so I am left wondering how to lace them properly... Pictures would help to!
Foofighter said:Yea we have a winter ex starting tonight, just thought I would ask on here and see if there are maybe multiple methods of doing it. Or is there is only one proper way to do it. Thanks guys.
Lone Wolf Quagmire said:Are they like the picture above or the newer model? P.S. If you have the old model don't trade them in if you can. Hell I don't even know if they're still issuing the new ones.
well... given as you are new and will be receiving winter Indoc training at some time in the near future, why don't you put things asside for now and wait for your NCOs to show you the proper method?

Mine are about 30 yrs old.... still work like a charm though frayed in some places

Run a search -- it's here somewhere!!

TCBF said:- Yup, after 28 years, they took back my snowshoes. No more snowshoe soccer PT to warm up those snowshoieng muscles for Winter Indoc. The defence of western civilization needs those things in the depot, not in the hands of young soldiers who need to learn how to walk in them.

ArmyVern said:Perhaps maybe -- someone is just keeping up with the global warming forecasts ... in that we won't require snowshoe indoctrination in this vast nation for long?? ??? :-X
TCBF said:- With the demise of the Arnprior-built Magline snowshoe, did the ladies of the Golden Lake First Nation get to work on the new ones, too? They were, IIRC, the ones who threaded the Aircraft wire webbing onto the old magnesium snowshoe frames.
- If you still have the old ones at home, do not - NOT - allow someone to snip off a bit of magnesium from the trail of the snowshoe and put it on a hot stove element to see if it burns bright. It will.

The old ones were good in dry snow. Don't do as well here in the mountains on the 'Wet Coast' though.
