Snowshoeing education 208: Package and Snowshoe

Posted on February 6, 2012 by admin

Snowshoeing participation increased by 7.1 percent over 2009-2010, according to the Outdoor Foundation "Outdoor Recreation participation Topline report 2011." Backpacking participation also has increased 9.2 percent. Both categories showed a significant increase compared with some recreational activities in nature.

When we reached some students set up tents and build a wall of snow around them. I do the same. Two students constructed quinzhee, snow shelter and two others set up a tarp Shelter. Some students less adventurous decided not to risk the winter and lives in a rural cottage has only a bed and wood stove with no other facilities. It's challenging fun winter adventure.

So, are the main differences from backpacking in the summer and in winter backpacking? Answer: hot and cold bug, and there is a bug and not a bear, a bear, and the people and no one.  Also … no snow and snow, and there is no skiing and skiing. When I made the comparison, I almost always prefers backpacking coming winter during the summer.

The three backpackers can easily convert to a fourth season by making some adjustments to their equipment, clothes and food supplies. And with the snow, adding ski among several items to the list of winter backpacking gear. The package may be a little more weight, but You don't necessarily have to take it as far as you did in the summer.

I remember the motto of my Scouts day … "ready." And, knowing the principles of Leave no trace-to-be first "plan ahead and prepare", I feel it is important to plan and prepare for winter backpacking adventure.
