MSR® Snowshoe Maintenance Kit

After a binding strap snapped mid-trail last winter, I keep this kit in my hip pocket now. The spare rivets fit my Lightning deck holes perfectly, and swapping one took maybe two minutes with a multitool.

Threw this in my pack before a week-long trip and it saved me when a binding came loose mid-trail. The spare rivets actually fit my Lightning decks, and having the right tools on hand meant I wasn't hiking out with a floppy snowshoe. Small kit, but it's staying in my bag from now on.

Didn't think I'd need this until a rivet popped on a cold morning near the trailhead. The spare binding parts and rivets got me back out the same day, and now it just lives in my pack. Cheap insurance for anyone racking up winter miles.
