hey do any of you guys see it being a good idea to get snowshoes? I mean I know it couldnt hurt, but would it be on the lines of a nessecity? Im on limited funds. And Idk If I wanna take the extra weight carrying them around if under the circumstances of what kind of war we might be fighting.

The Sportsmensguide.c om carries a $19 pair of snowshoes made of tough plastic that some of our members have use in training and they work quite well, we were suprised.

I checked they dont have any. Nor does any other place....?

[militia48186]

They will, they do every year. Winter editions of their catalogs will be coming out soon.

These videos are cool but you guys should do a break down of winter gear and systems. Like what kind of winter combat gloves are best for function and warmth?

[militia48186]

We do, and it is in printed form that we go over and hand out at the events. Just haven't put it into a video yet.

In Michigan, I like a big pair of warm mittens hung on cord off my jacket for quick warmth. I wear a lighter pair of wool mittens with the flip-top finger cover for shooting or bow hunting. But when the snow-piss-cold-rain-slush weather hits here, a good pair of neopreme ice fishing gloves under the wool pair is a must. Just consider the number of times you touch the snow .

Corey - Just keep training on your XBOX with a Beer, thats all the training you will need.

@serpentinear86 Two Things you need to make snow shoes: Large-ish evergreen branch and string/twine. It's easy to find if you live in Michigan...

WOW... Watching the Video. Looks Good. You''all will get picked off faster then a zit on a 14 year old. WW2 the german army got picked off in winter because they wore white tops, with black bottoms. Think Smarter not harder guys.. ;-) Watch some of the "ultimate Sniper" video's to save your butts :)

You guys should go up in the appalachians or the Rockies and train during the winters up there, Realy intense and it either makes or breaks you
