backpacking snowshoes - hands free

(1/1)

larchbum:
Looking for suggestions for harnessing up snowshoes in backpack fashon.   On pics it seems there is a split in usage of a single cross body strap and two shoulder straps.  I presume folks simply use leather straps fed through the lacing/frame.    One strap or two?  Suggestions on buckles -- something quick to fasten/unfasten?  Maybe some customizations that add comfort or utility?

Fyrstyk:
I use a single strap attached to the webbing at the top and bottom of the shoes, slung across the shoulder ( like your shooting bag) with a buckle in the chest area for adjustment based on clothing worn.  Each end of the strap has leather thongs for tying to the shoes.

ridjrunr:
A long while back I did this using a cord and a twig tied to each end acting like a toggle fed through the webbing at whatever position made it work. Same could be done with a leather wang.
