I have the book and his writing style is not the easiest to follow at times, but if you follow the pictures step by step it becomes more clear when actually doing it. This is according to two friends that have borrowed the book from me, I haven't used it for myself yet. I've read the book, and his canoe building book, but I haven't made my own snowshoes yet. <br /><br /><a href="http://gilgilpatrick.com/snowshoe-furniture.html" rel="nofollow"><i>Building Snowshoes and <br />Snowshoe Furniture</i> by Gil Gilpatrick</a><br /><br />One of the fellows that borrowed the book used it this summer to build his own snowshoes. <a href="http://www.wildpaddler.ca/2010/09/wheres-snow.html" rel="nofollow">You can read about Mark's experience here</a>.Bryan Sarauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501746182504085427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17966993.post-47264559623876088722010-12-13T22:38:14.907-06:002010-12-13T22:38:14.907-06:00Do you know of any resource for teaching how to de...Do you know of any resource for teaching how to deck a snowshoe? I can't figure out exactly how it is supposed to be done.

I used the ojibwa shoes while my friend Rob used the elongated bearpaws. We went to a local golf course and wandered from copse of trees to hollow to "water hazard" in an effort to find the deepest snow and the least flat terrain. Both seemed to work really well and I was very happy with the ojibwas. There wasn't really enough snow to test them extensively, but still we were able to get a feel for the bindings, what they were like to walk with, etc. The one issue I had was with the bindings - I'm not sure I have them set up correctly as my foot slid forward so that it would be hitting the cross-piece in front of the toe.Bryan Sarauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04501746182504085427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17966993.post-1571533337595171242008-10-26T14:29:00.000-06:002008-10-26T14:29:00.000-06:00Thanks for the tip Jim.
