Making Bushcraft Snowshoes and a Travois
In this video, learn how to craft bushcraft snowshoes and a travois. The video begins by highlighting the finished snowshoes, noting they can be made in under 50 minutes [00:04]. The creator emphasizes the importance of balancing weight for good stability when walking on ice and snow [00:27].
The process involves:
Gathering materials The creator searches for suitable sticks, suggesting they should be about shoulder height [00:39].
Shaping the snowshoes Sticks are sorted and five pieces are selected for the middle part, which needs to be thicker for the feet [01:17]. Weaving techniques are demonstrated to secure the sticks and prevent them from shifting in the snow [01:49]. The tips are lashed together and bent towards the main stick to form the snowshoe shape [02:46].
Adding bindings Once the snowshoe frame is complete, the focus shifts to creating a secure binding for the foot [03:32].
The video also introduces a travois, a type of sled used to carry loads [05:25]. The creator explains that a travois helps distribute weight, making it easier to transport items like pelts and meat, and reduces the load snowshoes have to carry [06:24]. It is noted that "travois" is a term with historical roots in Canada, used by native tribes and trappers [06:14]. The video concludes by demonstrating the effectiveness of both the snowshoes and the travois for comfortable travel and flotation in snow [06:46].
