Wanted: Canadian army mukluks

[maple_leaf_eh]

How coincidental a question! Today I was out stomping around on snowshoes wearing my mukluks. I had to remember to tie the laces - about as long as skate laces - to the bottom loop and then double lace across the arch. Snowshoe harnesses go on next, and hope the 550 cord keeps the toe loop from riding up. Oh, the happiness of old lessons remembered! Next week, we'll try playing tent groups in the woods.

The QM received honest to God brand new in the cardboard box bearpaw snowshoes the other day. Magnesium with a plastic coated web harness. There is even a sticker with the NSN and a serial number!

Felt goes in first. Woven insole next. Duffel socks worn over whichever colour of issue wool socks you've got on. Hopefully the thread colours match too. (Read Scott Taylor to remind yourself of that silliness.) Wind pants are never bloused. Mittens with the snot wiper may or may not be attached with idiot strings.

And all the non Canadians are wondering, what Farking jargon is this?
