Don't forget navigation (GPS, maps, compass), sustenance (food & water), and protection (sunglasses, sunscreen, etc.).

This is a pretty good video, but fails to address the REAL basics of snowshoeing. 1) When do you REALLY need snowshoes? - (in "more" than 12-14 inches of snow) 2) How much distance can you expect to travel in snowshoes? (1/3 to 1/2 the distance compared to a dry summer day) 3) you did a good job of describing the necessary wide stance, but how do you get UP after tangling up your feet, stumbling, and falling in deep snow? (strip off your pack and at least one snowshoe), a few other BASICS

Snowshoeing is a good sport for everyone, I like the bigger shoes keeps you going even in deep snow

Just bought myself new snowshoes today! I can't wait to go Weds with a friend of mine. Thank you for posting this and thank you the tip on the backpack! It crossed my mind as something to ANY time you go hiking, but for some reason it totally slipped my mind to pack one for snowshoeing. No idea why but great reminder! Thanks again!

Wonderful

@BryanSheasby 6 лет назад

Using a hydration compatible backpack so you don't have to take the pack off every time you want a drink is also a good idea.

@lavona8204 Год назад

Also... insulated hydration pack..

chasity reagle if you can’t go a few hours without food, you’ve got problems.

What’s the point if you just sink in powder anyways? It would be cool if they converted to skis to go downhill.

@sinfonianbarelytone9191 7 лет назад

Thanks for the tips. What about steep downhill travel? I find it impossible not to slip on the back fan tail which is very dangerous on regulations hiking trails.

@llbean 7 лет назад

Hello, thanks for your question. Here are a few tips our Outdoor Discovery School instructors recommend for downhills: • Traverse the hill by walking down at an angle across the slope of the hill, like a switchback trail/road would. • Side-step down the hill • Use poles for added stability and balance • If you start to fall, sit down.

@sinfonianbarelytone9191 7 лет назад

Thank you. My concerns are it's not a road but a hiking trail with a standard two foot wide path. I will try the sit down technique. I was hoping for insight into walking down hill without sliding 6 inches each step before the claws catch.

No.. Sorry about that... You tube app malfunction :(

@ColtonBlumhagen 11 лет назад

Snowshoes are not used to increase your speed, they are used to keep you above the snow pack.

@Vladimir-JT 5 лет назад

which also increases your speed...…. less resistants

how to snow shoe: just walk!

@michaelcaza-schonberger9282 5 лет назад

You don’t need sticks unless you have extremely bad balance.

@llbean 5 лет назад

Poles can also be very helpful in navigating varying terrain. Poles are highly adjustable in differing depths of snow and they add stability when traversing uneven terrain & snow depths which adds to the overall enjoyment of the activity. ^rc

@michaelcaza-schonberger9282 5 лет назад

L.L.Bean not once have I needed poles, and I snowshoe as often as possible (this is the beauty of living in Calgary Alberta Canada, I’m close to Banff).

@ericl2969 4 года назад

Most of us in the Midwest and North will be encountering enough brush that poles are just a nuisance or even a huge liability, at least some of the time. In nearly 50 years of snowshoeing in Wisconsin, I've never once felt the slightest need for poles. Snowshoeing in steep mountainous terrain is probably where the whole pole idea got started, just as that seems to be where the idea got started that snowshoes as tiny as what most people use nowadays are actually good for anything (outside of super-steep hillsides or very heavy crusted snow, those little things don't accomplish much).

@sinfonianbarelytone9191 7 лет назад

Oh and going down sideways isn't practical. Takes too long.

@Jerseyhighlander 9 лет назад

Why would I want to buy a pair of LL Bean labeled, Atlas snowshoes, (made in China), from you when I can get Atlas products practically anywhere, and likely cheaper. You're just selling another companies products with your name on them. Besides, these trendy, tiny metal tube and plastic snowshoes stink compared to traditional wood frame & web shoes. Lets see a video of you walking through a foot and a half of powder with them.
