When a walking stick helps most
- Going downhill. Planting the stick ahead of you lets your arm take part of the weight that would otherwise go through your knees.
- Loose or uneven ground. Scree, roots, mud and wet rock are where most slips happen. A third point of contact keeps you upright.
- Crossing water. Use the stick to test the depth and the footing before you commit your weight.
- Carrying a pack. A load on your back moves your balance point. The stick steadies you when you step up or down.
- Clearing the way. Push brush aside or check long grass ahead of you without using your hands.
Setting it to your height
Stand upright on level ground and hold the grip with the tip beside your foot. Your elbow should be bent at about a right angle. Too long and your shoulder lifts with every step; too short and you start to stoop. On a long climb a slightly shorter setting is more comfortable, and on a long descent a slightly longer one lets you reach the ground ahead of you.
Walking stick or trekking poles?
Trekking poles are used as a pair and suit fast walking with a heavy pack. A single walking stick leaves one hand free for a map, a dog lead or a gate, and a solid metal stick like this one takes knocks that light poles do not. Many walkers also like having a sturdy staff with them on remote paths; it puts distance between you and an aggressive dog. Rules on what you may carry differ from place to place, so check them where you walk.
Care
- Wipe it dry after rain or a stream crossing, then store it in a dry place.
- Before each walk, check that every section is screwed tight.
- Look over the tip and the grip from time to time and stop using the stick if anything is damaged.
Questions and answers
What is the difference between a walking stick and a trekking pole?
A walking stick is a single staff for balance and support at walking pace. Trekking poles come as a pair and are planted with every stride, which spreads the effort across both arms. For day walks, hunting and general outdoor use one sturdy stick is usually enough.
Can I take it on a plane?
The stick has tools inside, so do not plan to carry it into the cabin. Pack it in checked baggage and check your airline’s rules before you travel.
How long does delivery take?

I ordered the one with all the tools but removed all of them to make it town friendly . Con**led we**on bs .I also put a different grip on the bottom the stock one is very hard and slippy on certain surfaces, and
creates a bit of shock in the handle by doing so brought it down to 36.5″ total and fit me better And got ride of the vibration. If swapping the bottom grip put a snug fitting washer in it so it doesn’t wear through. Really nice especially for us heavier people hard to find anything heavy duty these days. To make it fit myself I used the two tool adapter spacers instead of the one long section ends up being 32″ . Definitely recommend

What a pleasant surprise to discover the carry bag had plenty of extra slots to accommodate the 4 extension pieces. So, I wondered what else I could construct using all the parts!
Joseph Elliott –
This is a good sturdy walking stick. It is on the heavier side and if you are on the taller side you will need to buy an extension to make it longer.

Had my knee surgery and it was really nice to have a solid and stable helper that did not look like an old man stick.
Harleyjoe –
Could have been a 6 star if I could. The only thing that would make it better would be a flashlight in one of the sections.
richard unger –
Very well made, a little bit on the heavy side.

This thing is like a Lego set for grown-ups. A bunch of configurations. Good machining, finish and strength. I walk my dog early in the morning (still dark). It’s nice to have a substantial walking stick with me. This is a great defensive stick. I wish there were more accessories (goodies) available.

I am a partially disabled veteran and I live in the desert. I am always out and about. I run across coyotes and other wild life from time to time. I feel I have an extra level of protection as well as a Very well made, sturdy and durable piece of equipment. Easy to size to your height and plenty of options.
Due to my disability I have to use a cane from time to time and this perfect fit that as well. I take out a section or two and I’m ready to go. I take it with me everywhere.
( I get a lot of compliments on my cane at the VA hospital )
