- This video shows CLEARLY, and CORRECTLY, how to install bindings on usgi magnesium snowshoes to avoid strap slippage.
It differs from methods described on other sites, especially with respect to the toe strap.
This method avoids having to retighten the straps when underway and also avoids unnecessary wear and tear on your straps.
Wearing incorrectly strapped snowshoes can result in danger. This video was created in response to the several videos on this topic that put the wearer in potential danger.
Good luck. Stay safe.
Best instructions I've found on the internet for attaching these bindings. The "instruction sheet" that came with my snowshoes was worthless, so Joan's video really saved the day. We just got a foot of new snow, so I found this video just in time! Thanks Joan!
Hi Joan, I just bought a pair of the USGI Mag. snowshoes from Sportsman's guide and the shoes are great but the paper instruction sheet for the bindings are about useless. I was totally lost until my wife found your video. Clear, easy to follow instructions. With out your video I'd still be lost! Thanks so much! I attended Arctic survival training in AK.in 1989 but couldn't remember how these things attached. Again thanks.
Nice! A lot of of videos are very wordy. You get to the point with perfect and efficient instructions.
Outstanding instruction! While I had forgotten how to do this correctly, she presented it in a much more calm, clear and relaxed manner than I learned 42 years ago as a young Marine. Never once did she scream, "DO YOU UNDERSTAND?". There is absolutely no way to improve on this, it is perfect!
Hey Joan Roco
,
You are the Rock Star of Snow Shoe Bindings! Great Video!!! :)
This is a great video. The directions that come with these snowshoes are worthless -- so thanks for solving the puzzle.
Thank you So Much! You helped me,
I was dead in the water, so to speak. It’s quite obvious there are a lot of other grateful snow lovers ect. Who were in the same bind-ing LOL. That I found myself in. Your simplistic and direct Instructions also helped a lot of viewers, myself Included of course.

Thanks so much. The illustration of instructions attaching the straps were less then clear for me on my surplus shoes.
Just recently bought a pair of these for my wife and I. Your video was a tremendous help in installing the bindings. Been a couple of decades since I was issued these things, and even back then they already came strung so I never really had to figure it out for myself. Thank you very much for the tutorial!
Thank you Joan Roco! The instructions that came with my snowshoes were really ambiguous. Your instructions clear and easy to follow.
Blizzard raging outside, no bindings on skis, Snowshoe bindings look like big fat wide noodles Tangled Up In The Box.
Excellent "how to video", thank you very much!
Thankyou. I bought these magnesium snowshoes and the toe straps were placed at the heel location. I knew this was backwards. I now have the toe straps in the right place.
Thank you! This is the most comprehensive video instruction I have ever seen! I bought the snowshoes from a gas station who had them sticking out of the snow in front of the station. I know nothing about snowshoeing, and certainly not about bindings, I could not have done it without this very excellent video. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Perfect. thank you for all the detail. this video should be linked to every website selling USGI snowshoes.
Fantastic instructions that made the ones that came with the bindings look like a joke. Unfortunately, my snowshoes didn't have even remotely evenly spaced lacing, but that just made it somewhat difficult to put on the bindings, not impossible. Thank you for helping us lost sheep!
I just bought a pair of these snowshoes from a military surplus store, and there were not any instructions. I am SO GRATEFUL for your clear demonstration of how to install the straps!
Best tutorial I've found on usgi bindings....thanks
I had not a clue how to even mount these bindings. Thanks to the great video, I mounted them and took 3 laps around the yard. My first experience with snowshoes, and a lot of fun!
Thanks again.
THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!! These instructions are clear & concise. I would never have figured out how to install the bindings without them. Joan's video made it easy. Thanks for the EXCELLENT video!
Thanks, Joan. Great job explaining how to attach the bindings. Because of you I nailed both shoes on the first try and was out tromping around in them five minutes later with my dogs. Awesome video; very clear and concise.
Had mine done wrong for two years and your video has us using them again! Thanks for your video very patient and clear instructions!
You're the best! Thank you very much for this extremely useful video Joan.
I bought some of these US military snowshoes a year & a half ago for backup
to some Tubbs modern ones BUT there was no information on how to install
the binding and I am not very smart so the military snowshoes were just
gathering dust in the corner of my living room.
Now I can use them from time to time & count on them for backup if my
regular snowshoes are not usable or available.
Yes, I agree "Best instructions" for attaching these
bindings. Bought my US Mg's used at a second had store.
Thanks for speaking slowly and deliberately so it was very easy to follow along and for mentioning securing the excess strap at the very end.
Absolutely fantastic, Joan! Very clear and simple! I was at a loss to do this with my new snowshoes until I saw your video.
Just got my snow shoes from Midway USA, watched your channel and 20min later I was ready to go. GREAT U-TUBE thanks Joan Paul , Silver Creek Outfitters Ga.
i would have wasted a lot of time and frustration without this video.... thank you!
Thank you! The directions that came with the shoes were for a different type of binding and were of little use- your clarity worked wonders for me.
thank you so much! the instructions they sent with these snowshoes were completely unreadable, you are a snow-ANGEL! May good health, good fortune, and God's blessings be with you always....
I actually caught these on sale and bought them, they are very nice but people don`t stand a chance of setting them up without your video, thanks..
Great video! The instructions that came with the snowshoes were just about impossible to follow. This made it very easy! Thank you!
Thanks! Big difference! Now the healstraps don't come undone all the friking time!
Exactly the instructions I was looking for. Thanks so much.
excellent video, instructions were very clear and accurate
Thanks!!! Just got these shoes today and would have taken a long time(if ever) to figure the correct install of the bindings without you.
Wouldn’t of been able to do it without this video! Thanks so much!
Very well presented, clear and concise made easy for all. Thanks
Excellent and easy to follow instructions. Thank you!
you are an absolute lifesaver! I'm only using these for flatland and nothing extreme, but this turned a fairly daunting binding task into an easy task.
Great video, thank you so much. We just got a pair of these from a buddy and the straps were all messed up on them, LOL We have them right now thanks to you!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!!! Awesome, concise, and fantastic explantation.
best instructions by far
Excellent "how to" video; thank you profusely for posting it. I was actually quite embarrassed that I couldn't figure this out by myself. I made some bent-willow snowshoes when I was a kid, but the "bindings" were whatever I could make work out of baling-twine.Maybe if I'd gotten to go to "Arctic & Mountain" school (sigh).
Wow, thanks for the instructions. I took mine out today and figured there was a better way. Much more stout than my previous setup!
got these last year when winter ended for cheap. your vid was very helpful in getting me all set up. tested them out in the blizzard and they work great. thanks
Thanks for saving me hours of headache and frustration; I owe you one adult beverage.
Thank you so much for these instructions! Super easy to follow and a lot clearer than the rudimentary line drawings that came with the new snowshoes. :)
This video is perfect and my partner and I were able to install these in no time. Thank you so much.
I just got 2 pairs of these snowshoes and your video saved me, thank you! Very informative.
Fantastic video. WIsh I had watched this before my first outing -- would have saved me a lot of trouble.
Thanks for the clear instructions! I was able to use them to install my bindings without too much trouble.
Fantastic video Joan.I wish I had seen this a week ago. I had troubles all day. Thanks
I wore these for many years in the Cdn Army but we had a simpler binding more suitable for a soft-toed mukluk style boot. The US army binding needs to be worn with more rigid toed boots so you can tighten the toe strap securely.
Thanks! I got close but not quite there. Now I can get them tight!!!
Brilliant. Thanks! Quick concise and accurate. Made installing my new harnesses a breeze!
Well done, and thanks!! The included instructions are only useful for starting a fire...
Many thanks for then concise directions!
Excellent instructions. Very easy to follow. Thank you so much for doing this video. Made my life easier!

Awesome video, thanks for the help!
Great Video & Information !
Really helpful video - thanks!
Great instructional video! Thanks
Great instructional video. Consider buying theses vs new modern snowshoe which are expensive. Your thoughts?
+Darlene Crawford my wife has some expensive ones, I got these. I like these, hers just look nicer
GREAT U-Tube Thanks Paul
Awesome instructions!!!
Very helpful, thanks.
Total newbie here, bought a set of those exact army snowshoes but did not understand even basic concepts, for instance the fact that the toe should dip in the hole with each step. This video really clicked the lightbulb on in my head, thanks! From what I have read from other sources, they say the army snowshoes are great but the original binding are very poor compared to what you can get. Do you find this to be true? Mine did not come with the bindings so I bought GV double use style bindings.
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you (I got it right) but the provided instructions were crap.
Just bought mine and had no idea how to install. The directions that came with the shoes was not helpful at all. Thanks.
Very clear...thanks!
Nice Job

i would have wasted a lot of time and frustration without this video.... thank you!
