  • For hundreds of years north american natives travelled by snowshoe (birch + rawhide, caribou moccasins, lampwick bindings) pulling a 100 pounds tobbogan with a chest strap, with a whole familly for he whole winter, hunting on the way for food, sleeping in their tents with woodstove until they reach their winter hunting grouds...and now, great evolution, in 2010 we are making videos on "how to snowshoe" in our backyard with ski poles "for balance"...being out of breath after 10 steps...pathetic.

  • the woman´s snowshoes are too small for her weight. I guess she has about 70-75kg. and as far as i remember those shoes are salewa and they only carry about 65kg. doesnt matter in that kind of snow, because at that high i walk with normal boots. but she might get problems in deeper snow.

  • Um does she know that snow shoe size go according to weight, they definitely look to small for her weight...

    Do you work out and talk much? It doesn't seem that you do based on reading your comment. I've known people who run what people would consider half marathons everyday just because they liked it. While jogging with them they sound "out of breath" while they talk even at easy speeds, because that's how your body operates. Your body wisely decides when you start moving that oxygen to your brain is more important than what you're talking about, no matter how fit you are.

  • let's practice walking!

  • lolllll

  • @groscastor1 you out of breath typing by chance? :P

  • I don't know if I will be good enough .... :(

    It looks so hard!

  • Can I date You? :)p You seem like real fun (-A Hoot)!!

  • I agree, her shoes are too small for her, she was really sinking in. I think the problem with this video is that it makes doing this look really boring.

  • I know nothing about snowshoeing but would like to get into it.  What do you see wrong with this video?
