@9:50, a little trick I learned long distance hiking: instead of coming in from the top of the loop to grab the pole, run your hand up the pole thru the loop, such that the strap is AROUND the thumb area and running between the palm and pole (essentially opposite of your grip in the video).. Gripping the pole this way will give you more leverage when planting the pole and thru it’s full range of motion. Bonus: when your grip is tired, the straps hold the pole for you.
Thank you for all of this funny but useful information! We are so excited to get out in the powder! We hike A LOT & won’t let winter stop us from exercising. :)
This comment makes me so happy!!! Have you been snowshoeing yet or you’re about to try it for the first time?! Either way, I’m so excited for you! Snowshoeing is definitely such an excellent way to get some solid exercise in the winter! Thank you so much for watching! ❤️
Great video. Only extra thing I'd recommend is microspikes to go on your boots in case you need to walk around icy parking lots and pavements before putting your snowshoes on. These traction devices can save you from a nasty fall. I go snowshoeing in the backcountry by myself, so I always have a backpack with some survival gear - probably not needed if you are just beginning.

Great question! If you purchase universal snowshoes they can fit on either foot! If they are designated for the right or left there will be a marking on it! Thanks so much for watching!
