This will be my first Winter trying out this pair of TUBBS snowshoes.
The price was right...

A really wonderful couple I know permanently moved way down south this Summer and gifted them to me before they left.
😊
They actually gave me two pairs but I'm using the smaller size snowshoes right now.

A good pair of warm boots to wear while snowshoeing is the only way to go.
I do alot of snowshoeing. It's the only way I can access my cabin in the Wintertime. They also gave me a few other Winter related items as well.
Gratitude..!

⤴️
I should buy some new boot laces but in the meantime I'm using these long red shoelaces.
I think they look pretty darn snazzy...!!

@annephilbrick that was so nice of your friends to think of you. I like the red laces if they work, why change? wow, you already have a lot of snow. I hope the bears have gone nighty- night, because I do not think you could run very fast in all that snow.

Having the appropriate winter gear is essential when you need to be out in the winter weather! What a wonderful gift!

😊

So very true...!!
An awesome surprise gift..🤗.
They are very wonderful people. I wish they didn't move away but I understand why they did. They sold alot of their stuff but they wanted me to have a few things they knew I could really use. I offered to buy but they would except no money 😘.

True friends, indeed! I suspect you will get a lot of use from their gifts!

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.

Wow very cool looking boots, laces and snowshoes annephilbrick! What is the blue and red material on the snowshoes, plastic?

Hello..!!!
😊
@janton
It's polyethylene. It's very durable and commonly used now with snowshoes. They are really light weight. So far I'm liking them alot..!
:-)

That is wonderful to hear annephilbrick. I know nothing about them but remember seeing the old wood frame ones with what looked like basket weaving for the bulk of the surface. I'm probably 50 yrs behind the times on snow shoes. lol.

😊
The old wooden ones are great. The leather can get brittle over time. I do have a pair. The new ones are so much lighter.
But I personally really like the wooden classic look.

I agree, it's a great look that the old ones have, they look great hanging up on the walls of a cabin. But you can't beat the lightness of the new ones for practical everyday use!
