Cvss1dy Posted March 8 Report Posted March 8 I was recently running to the north on a server in March. It was cold, I was fresh with the bare minimum save a goodie bag someone gave me, though I was determined despite all odds. While I was doing so I was chit chatting with some new friends and said "Man I could really use some snow shoes" while stomping in knee high snow at a snail's pace. One of them said "Hey, that kind of sounds like a cool idea, and fits the setting. You should put it in the forums." So here I am. I think they'd not only be a cool, useful addition, but might encourage people to go North. Or, at the very least, make it easier for those of us willing to brave the cold. I think they'd be relatively easy to make, some sticks and cattails at *most*, though to implement them correctly might be difficult. Most snow shoes fit over your winter boots, they strap on nicely. This would likely require a THIRD foot slot, or come with the trade off of not wearing foot/leg armor. Another solution might be to make the snow shoes with, well.. shoes attached. Require some fur or rawhide, sticks, cattails, and bam. Winter boots capable of traipsing around the snow with ease. Anyone else have any suggestions? 6
