You are welcome. Thanks for commenting. I made a modification to my technique. Instead of having a strap go under the webbing, I figured out how to make it go above the strapping. See the comment from William Moss.
You are welcome. There may be a better way to put the toe strap on so it is doesn't go underneath the webbing.

Sorry, it's two years since the publishing this video, but I met it as late as now. I bought U.S army magnesium snow shoes some years ago and got similar straps with it. I think you install the heel straps a bit wrong way. I think you start it right , driving it thru two holes at the ends of the buckle. However after that, you should continue it thru keeper and the loop close to heel before driving it back thru the buckle. That's the way you'll get more control over the tightness of the heel strap and more spape for control.
The toe strap must do a short loop around the snowshoe lace and then come back through the main strap. If you leave it BELOW the boot, the binding will slip and the strap will foul on branches and brush (dangerous).
@@williammoss6142 thanks, those military snowshoes are strung differently than my traditional shoes and so mine can't be attached the same way. I am rethinking my technique.
This is exactly what I needed! I got these bindings and was puzzling how to put them on my old wood snowshoes. You said you made your snowshoes yourself. How did you do with bending the oak? I know it's much more brittle than ash or birch. The Native Americans would use anything but oak when they made their snowshoes. Anyway, thanks again for this great video!
Hi Joe, thanks for the comment and question. I made some from oak and ash one year. These ones might actually be ash frames with oak spreaders. I think the oak ones cracked on the bends and I ended up wrapping them with twine before I even wove the webbing on. I made some really nice ones with birch from Alaska. That was the only good hard wood I had in Alaska.
you are welcome. Thanks for watching. Soon winter will be here and you can get out and use those new bindings. I love these military bindings. Best I ever used.
Thank you for the detailed instructions.
You are welcome! It's about time to get mine out. Love these bindings!
Thanks man! This saved me a lot of time. The original diagram with the bindings was confusing.
Glad it helped! I poured over those instructions for hours. When it finally made sense I knew I needed to make a video.
Thanks! Im gonna hit the snow shortly and YOU made it happen!!
Do it!
Thanks for posting this!
Love that rack on the wall with the recurve bows too!

Thank you so much for explaining this clearly! I could for the life of me not figure out how to put them on LOL

Thanks for the tip and commenting! I will try that. I got other tips that helped too.

Thanks. I will take a new look at placing that strap above.

I'm Joe, I forgot I was signed in in my wife's account.
