Step Out With Your Personal Walking Stick
Walking sticks make hiking more fun. They let your arms get into the act, so you cover ground more easily. Even better, they help you keep your balance, which means that heavy pack will stay on your back instead of tumbling down some deep ravine—and maybe taking you with it!

Hiking Poles & Walking Sticks
I saw an article in Backpacker magazine, a couple of years ago, about Hiking Poles. In it, the author mentioned seeing Europeans using their snow poles as hiking poles to help with mountain ascents...
Walking Sticks
The Walking Stick is a very interesting and expressive craft. A walking stick can tell the history and nature of it's owner. After a time, it becomes very personal, because of the design of its mast head and the memories that attach to its memory strands.
