The "Gear I love" thread - An open list for good gear

[Ned]

Go cut a couple straight manuka poles and let them season, then a quick sand and some boiled linseed oil and they are good to go, much much stronger than any broom stick (and more asthetically pleasing).
I usually drill a hole near the top for a paracord hand loop.
Always got a couple in service as shit happens and nothing is indestructible, they are definitely a game changer.

I think I'm about to move to one of these over the 2 walking poles I've been using. The amount of control and leverage I experienced using 2 hands facing in opposite directions on a single staff is a lot more reassuring that one hand at the top of a walking stick.
