SnowShoes

[MountainMan]

Hey all I'm new to this site. I have an old set of Wooden Snow shoes that I need to get new rawhide on. Does anyone know of anyplace I can order the rawhide from or anyplace I can send them to be fixed. I prefer the older wooden snoes to the new ones and really would like to get these fixed.

Thanks.

These links below have bindings that should fit on your snowshoes. They are not rawhide, those are hard to find. Welcome to this site, its nice to have another Catskills guy.

thanks for the links, I think I need to be a little more detailed with what I'm looking for though. I need the rawhide that you use to make the "web" in the frames themselves my bindings are in pretty good shape.

Thanks

Try Tubbs. They make Wooden shoes and I am sure you can get the webbing there or have them replace it. Here is there site. If you can you may have better luck if you call them they have not been to good in checking there e-mails.

Maybe Baldy's (aka the "Kancanagus Snowshoe Center") can help you out. On the Kanc near Rt. 16.

Great Canadian Canoe Co...1-800 982-2663 or 508 865-0010
www.greatcanadian.com offers 1/4 and 1/2 babiche (rawhide) also

Faber Co in Loretteville, Quebec Canada 418-842- 8476 also offers it. They also have a web site at www.fabersnowshoes.com

snowshoes for mud....

Well as the seasons change..I found what I have often suspected might exist...snowshoes for mud....aka.."mudder boots"
I found them at www.cabela.com
(I typed it in under "search")
Anybody ever try them? I have read of at least one person using their snowshoes to go 'bog hoppin'...perhaps these would do the trick. One size fits all !!
We usually do get one heck of a mud season...........

I use my old MSR Denalis to get into my garden earlier in the springtime. It's the only thing they are good for. The mud sticks pretty badly but it's a great workout for the hamstrings.
