Hmm? Oh, right, snowshoeing?

I went into the main bedroom, that is in disrepair as it was half taken apart and already in bad shape which is why it was being dismantled.  I was looking for the folding device, which, alas, I did not find.  But I did see something, as the title suggests, that might be about to see it's first use.  The snow shoes, boots just for those, and trekking poles, are all in single carry-all.  Well, not the boots.  I have never quite gotten to using them.

I truly hope, as I get things squared, and rest up, that maybe I can get them fitted, then take them into the back acre... especially as snow piles on.  If I do well enough, then maybe take them out for field trials.  I may not need them on the road, or I may if I have to get a bit out from the road, or make an attempt to take and off-road track, or really break a trail.  Really, just around the yard, and town, until I have some idea what these things can do, what I can do in and with them, and all such.

If I take chores a few at a time, as today... and work up to a rested weekend and am enjoying that, without too much pain, and if the snow remains, I may go for a short tour on Saturday.  Just around out back.  At first just with the snow shoes, then, in time, with a pack.  A pack with food, a way to warm it, a way to light a small fire, a spare, and extra, warm clothes and perhaps a blanket... just enough for a day, and maybe an over-night, if sparsely that way, if caught out or otherwise choosing to stay out.  No need for fishing gear, I don't believe.  No need for most other gear, though some safety stuff like a whistle and reflector would be good.  Just... a basic kit.  And, initially, more just to have weight, and perhaps to try some things while trouncing around as if I owned the place.

Yeah... just... thinking... or dreaming.  Good night.
