Thread: Trekking Poles/Walking Sticks

I bought a pair but only take 1. Great for crossing small rivers and scree slopes, it’s quiet handy to give a rock a prod before you step on it. Also It seems to help take the stress off knees etc. coming off a mountain with a load of meat. I know the prices vary a lot but I think if you pay between $50~$100 you’ll get something decent and dependable. A few 2nd hand ones come up on trademe also. Sheppard sticks are nice but the ability to strap your telescopic pole to your pack when you have your hands full or don’t need it is a bonus + they are super light.
