Hey friends, this is Consumin' Outdoors from here. Well, we've been out hiking for last couple hours and as you can see from behind me, that's what I like to hike through. Breaking new trail, just going through the woods. I don't like doing so much of a trail walk, but what I've been doing is I like I set a wood snowshoes and the wood snowshoes that I have, the bindings that I had on, they were okay, they're said Bob Mackeys, he's on a Ross Common area and it's basically like a rubber type of binding that goes put your foot through the loop and you pull the back up around the peel of it. Well, what I did is I swapped them out and I went to a traditional type lacing and I want to show you when I get out here, how to the deep snow, I'm coming out of the woods right now to it opening, I'll show you my old dog. I got my buddy Duke with me, he's my hunting buddy, he goes with me everywhere, C.C. Some of the snow machineers have been coming down through here, so we'll use a track right here. Alright, well, as you can see, that's just a set of rope. Now these are Iverson, sit at the snowshoes and I did these for trade. So what I'm going to do, this takes a little, these shoes that I have on, this binding was designed for mucklucks and what happens is with our modern day like snow boots that I have on, they've got cleats on the bottom of them and they're really not that good for this because they kind of grab the snowshoes, the binding, the leather part of them. So I'm going to show you how it takes a little bit of work so bear with me here. So get them on and off, you kind of put your foot on here and you pull your toe out like this and then around like that and then take your heel out. Okay, and then put them in, once again I'm not using any hands, I'm going to show you so I get it down here, buy my heel, get the loop there, take it out and around and then cross it and put your toe back in. So it's pretty simple, a lot of trappers used to use these, like I said, especially when they use the mucklucks, so I'm going to use my right foot now. So toe out and then you swing it around like that and then out, let it put it back in and then you're off and walking. So what makes this extremely nice is you don't have to get your hands wet dealing with buckles and all that stuff which kind of comes down with a pen and a hand if you will. But I challenge you, get out in the wilderness, even in the wintertime. There's nothing wrong with getting out and going for a walk. As you can see, we've got probably 10 inches of snow now on the ground and the spots have got about a foot, but don't sit inside. This is January 2016, this is January the second and I'm out here in the wilderness and I challenge you to get out and go snowshoe, go hiking, go cross country skiing, whatever it is, don't sit in the house and we always make a statement up here in North Michigan. We don't hibernate, we recreate. So hey, this is Consumin Outdoorsment, I'm going to show you in the next video how to tie these so that you'll have your own, I'm using mule tape on this, so a lot of people that you'd use candlewick, it's candlewick, it's a little firmer and thicker. So I'll talk to you later, guys. Thanks a lot.
