es. I have read and will follow all requirements as outlined in chapter fiv=

rt camper. Nonetheless, I still like to do a bit of winter camping when the=
snow is good and the weather suitable for sissy outings. I like to snowsho=
e a mile or so from the car, tugging a sled with some of my heavier/bulkier=
stuff along with enough firewood to keep the snot thawed.=C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=
=A0Test plan:The snow gods have focused the intensity of their attentions o=
n this part of the world at the moment. Huge dumps! Likely the snow won't b=
e hard enough for spike traction devices, except around camp, and I'll need=
a pair of shoes to replace the ones that broke on my last trip. The Fimbul=
vetr shoes certainly look intriguing and I'd be delighted to put them to wo=
rk. Depending on how soft the snow is, I could be at the upper limit of the=
ir weight suggestion, adding in a bit of heft for yarding the sled. I would=
expect at least four trips of 2-3 days.
Test considerations would include:a) flotationb) ease of getting 'em on and=

I'm now mad at mine that broke)
