OPINION: When the snow gets to be too much for your hiking boots, swap them out for a good pair of snowshoes, says Gord Follett.

Well, maybe a couple, 15-20 years back. I vaguely recall, late one December, vowing to give up smoking. Another year around the same time I thought it would be a good idea to get back to regular exercise such as walking and maybe even a trip to the gym couple times a week.This isn't to suggest I'll never try again, however, even at my age.

For the price, though, the locally made traditional bear paw-style snowshoes you see residents selling from their homes or hanging off their pickup trucks in high traffic areas around town can't be beat. A friend in Trinity Bay who makes these informs me that while he wouldn't go so far as to say sales last year were brisk, he did sell a lot more than in pre-COVID days.

Need another suggestion? Boil-ups. Nothing conjures up an image of the Newfoundland and Labrador outdoors like the good ol' boil-up. Who hasn't seen or taken a photo of a copper kettle hanging off a stick over an open fire? Bring a man to tears, it would.And if you've spent even the slightest amount of time on social media the past 20-plus months, no doubt you've noticed how popular this simple outdoor cooking activity has become.

If you're not on the boil-up bandwagon just yet, there's an endless amount of space and it could be your most rewarding resolution.
