It's a lot harder to hike in the snow indeed with spikes tho you become some super powered snow and ice trashing machine tho...proper tools for the job! goggles? Now I'm interested!
I really had to beg my taste buds not to leave me after them cookies. They left me anyway. You eat half a cookie and you are coughing out out as much sand as the Sahara desert has.
Aren't goggles a thing? Glasses maybe. My Oakley's will do the job I guess.
Please stop torturing me with them cookies. I need enough therapy as it is. 🤪
Misery loves company.
Maybe if your skiing googles are appropriate ... hiking? I would really like to see that! Yes regular sunglasses in the winter look less funny.
I'm from Australia where snow isn't much of a thing. I've been in the snow of course, here and in NZ, but my snow experiences are quite limited so...Yeah, #clueless
Canada, I could give a course on snow! lol. I don't care for it much but it does some pretty incredible things. Walking on super clear window like ice of deep lakes is neat too. You can see all the fishies swim under your feet.
I want to do that...But if I fall in you have to promise to look after my crypto.
I promise I will...you wont fall tho, you can drive a truck on that ice, even set up a fishing cabin and sleep on it. The people that fall in are the ones on it when it's too thin or walking on shelf ice (ice with no water directly underneath). Ice is actually pretty strong. I promise you it will still be creepy no matter what. I have been doing it since I was a kid and it still freaks me out a lil
some of our northern communities ice roads are the only land access so transports actually drive on major lakes to bring them supplies before the ice road melts. Then only aircrafts can get there in the summer months.
I used to watch a show called Ice Road Truckers which was pretty cool - It's a different world from Australia really, all that snow and ice. It's funny as here we have signs in outback towns, right before the bitumen starts, that says drop dust here, a point where the road trains, sometimes 5 trailers long, stop and smack the shit out of their trailers to knock the bulk or dust and mud off before they enter the town so as not to drop it through the town. [These road trains often run for thousands of kilometres on dirt, through creeks and mud and all.]
Anyway, I feel better now I know you'll not let me fall through the ice and drift away downstream under the ice.
