I was waiting for somebody to notice that. Believe it or not I don't own a modern pair of snow shoes. I have an antique pair that belong to my dad I have borrowed...old school cat gut. They work but every year he gets more leary loaning them out because they're so old.

It's on my list of things to get but they're not a cheap item.

There aren't many SAR call outs in the winter around here (usually just lost hunters). I've yet to be invovled in one.
