Used Snow Shoes

“Is there anybody out there that wants to sell some to me?”

“Check these out...”

“LMAO Buddur! Heck, I can get two plastic forks from McDonalds and two rubber bands and make them for free.”

“Get the rubber bands from your mailman. They are good quality and they just throw them away usually anyway.”

“Seriously, though...Ebay has deals on used snowshoes.”

“A buddy may have a pair of atlas 1030 he maybe willing to part with. Apparently they have a newer binding out now that is more akin to the snowbaorder type that he is interested in. I'll ask him when I talk to him again. Knowing him he'll ask to much because they're in great shape. Do you have a price range?”

“$60 tops, and they must be able to support around 250-275 lbs.”

“$60? Maybe you'd better bid on the GI Joe Mountain Troops Snowshoes. I sold a pretty good pair on eBay last year and was a little disapointed that I didn't get more than $100.”

“that kind of weight and price, you might be wise to look into making your own, if you're crafty,, I ski (x-c) and it's was hard to find good, durable equipment,,but I also have shoes for rough country,,most of the new style(aluminum/neoprene) ones are too small for reasonable weight,,I go 210# myself, so I can relate.good luck”

“Found a site that may help some who want to make their own shoes,,

BTW; I have some of the Dan Beard books,, he was one of the founders of Scouting in this country, and had lots of useful ideas.”

“Well I better chime in here too, looks like I'll be needing a pair for me too. Any takers? er sellers I mean?

I'll check Ebay too, but I'll prolly get a better pair for less in the spring eh?”

“Oh, with pack weight added, I should top out at about 180-85, if that helps with sizing ... and price, less than $100 for sure.”

“Buddha Bear, check this out.”
