If you have a small house in the forest, then in the winter you probably experienced difficulties when getting to it due to the deep snow. The fact is that the surface of the snow does not hold a person well. Therefore, the most correct option is to make snowshoes that will allow you to move freely even in the deepest snow.
It is necessary
Aluminum hoop, drill, drill, webbing, fire hose. laces, scissors, needles, threads
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a women's headband. Usually a girl is twisted around her waist during aerobics classes. You need to buy either one large or two small ones. If you bought a large hoop, then cut it into place, which is opposite the connection. You now have two snowshoe blanks. Each part must be carefully bent. The ends must be drilled and bolted tight. Take the fire hose. No other fabric will be as strong and durable as the one from which the fire hose is made. Cut a piece to the required length. You need to pull it tightly in the middle of the connected hoop.
Step 2
Make loops at the ends of the sleeves that will hold onto the hoop. Sew them with thick threads. It is necessary to sew two pieces of fabric perpendicular to each other. Please note that the fabric should be stretched over the hoop as much as possible, otherwise the snowshoes will not function correctly. Sew the fabric with fine stitches at the intersection. The fastening should be such that the tarpaulin does not travel from one side to the other along the hoop. Place your foot in the boot on the crosshair and draw an outline with a white pencil. Now you need to make bindings that will keep the snowshoe on your foot.
Step 3
You can think of a large number of options for the location of the bindings. It is best to make four straps, which will be located exactly in the middle between the crosshairs of the two stretched sleeves. The material for the shoulder straps should be similar to that used to make school backpack handles. If you find an old briefcase, you can use the straps and handles from it. Make neat holes at the ends of the straps and insert rings into them. Thread a string through each hole. All that remains is to put your foot on the snowshoe and tie the lacing tightly. You can also tie straps between the straps to fit the boot more tightly.
