The SnowClaw

I brought one of these back from my Canada trip, it was a gift from Her Indoors :-)
It's the cats whiskers for Backcountry Hikers.
People have them hung off packs and tossed in the backs of cars.
 
Have a look at the website and then take a look at the video.
 
My first thoughts were how usefull one of these would be on the mountain treks, but the more you look at it the more uses it has........shovel, fracture splint, snow anchor, glissade, pack support.....and at 6.1oz it's going to feature on the back of my pack on hikes, if not only for its use as a splint or a pack support to protect the contents of my pack, it's a great bit of kit and well worthy of hanging off the back of my pack.

R.I.P. My Trusted Friends

Sadly on the day of the 14th February 2010, after many years of trusted service, my warm dry cumfy boots have been invaded by maggots and have been put to rest.
 
Leason be learned, never leave your boots in the shed with a pair of used garden gloves on them, because you never know who or what's going to crawl into them !
 
Goodby my boots, you served me well :-(
