2nd time out skiing with my new fancy alfa apx xplore boots, when joy turns to sorrow... Xplore Binding Failure: Is there any way to fix this in the field? Or are you just Shackleton'd, devistated to a long haul of utter misery and desperation? Using your unbound ski as a sword to fend of polar bears?

I also own the Lundhags Abisko Xplore Expedition (taller verzion) size 41 - for sale if anybody wants! The Lundhags are the first boot to rub my shin bone. My actual bone. Rub rub rub. I can't even look at those boots anymore without pain. I slowly broke them in mile by mile, then eventually did an ...

Hell yeah, look at your roar down the streets! Nothing stopping you.

here I am training my pack of beast.. we're planning to run from Mexico to Alaska

I ordered skis from neptune, had them mount 3 pin bindings for me. A year later I replaced the initial 3 pin binding with the new xplore binding. I found drill holes in skis from another binding.

Anyone in Oslo/Norway want to ship me some skis to Alaska? Theres some skis on https://www.fjellsport.no/ that I'd like, but they wont ship to USA. I can't find the skis here in the US.

Something you might want to consider is inflatable snowshoes- . This sounds brilliant! I'll have to get a pair. I can also possibly skin up, depends on snow conditions. My bigger fear is getting DOWN with the pulk on skis on the narrow narrow trail, and snowshoes would be a good choice then. My pul...

How do you cook and melt snow in such a small vestibule? Don't you get a lot of condensate with both you and your dog in such a small tent? What kind of pulk do you use? I've come to call my Akto a bivy compermise. In the evening, we get to enjoy warmth and protection while cooking snow and eating,...

Most just disobey the leash law when descending, but some people ski downhill with their dogs on leash. As a working husky, she is always on leash. I don't haul her meat and food 300 miles just for her company. I've posted this non-metal edge topic to learn what I'm missing out using metalless edge...
