Any body know of any where that make cold weather bindings for snowshoes? I bought new bindings but to cold they to stiff can't even stay tight. Real rubber bindings would be what I'm looking for. Also need the bindings to fit over large winter boots.

A taxidermist from Main called me one time looking for a beluga skin. He said the Creek in Northern Quebec use them for snowshoes. The best snowshoes there is he said. I could not find anyone who wanted to skin a beluga. Beluga are usually just cut up into slabs and used for muktuk. Some people aldo dry the meat.

One strap over the toes and a cut across piece of inner tube over the toes and around the heel. The inner tube carry on your leg and over the toes when you mount your shoes.
I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Maine guide snowshoes mgsnowhoes.com master guide bindings are the best I've ever used and I've been using mine for 10 years and have used them down to -60 no problem. I've used them hard and have put a lot of miles on them, all but indestructible! They also will replace the straps for free if you wear them out however I still haven't worn mine out. You have a contact for Maine Guide snowshoes?

they are not difficult to make from scratch by splitting spruce logs but there are compromise solutions based on plywood. Maybe I should make a separate thread but I'm not sure this will be appropriate... I do not feel all that comfortable invading this subforum? You wouldn't be invading! You would be educating. We all welcome educating!
