@ross.gear shows off a little home-made innovation.

I needed snowshoes to hike in this deep snow, so I built a pair. A couple of white pine branches, plastic fencing, and cam lock straps did the job! #snowshoes #hike #buildyourownsnowshoes #appalachiantrail #at #snow #getoutandstayout #gottaimprovethosebindingstho #winter #nj A photo posted by Ross Gear (@ross.gear) on Mar 15, 2015 at 9:35pm PDT

On the bright side it’s above zero. Photo courtesy of @1chrisbos.
