[Blindtlk] new NFB canes

[Cari Ford]

I just got the new folding cane. I didn't know they came out with another
telescoping cane. I have not had good luck with the telescoping but I really
don't like the straight cane in less I'm going for a long walk and that's
all I'm doing. I love my new folding cane. It doesn't collapse on me so I
can lean on it a little if need a little extra balancer. That's a plus in
the snow. It folds up in 7 sections and gets really small. For me that's a
good thing. I'm only 4 feet 9 inches so the length limit doesn't apply but
my husband is right on the line and was surprised he couldn't get a 63. He's
5 11 or so. 
Peace, 
Cari

Hi,

I've heard that the NFB just introduced a new type of carbon fiber
folding cane at the convention in Orlando. Their online store doesn't
yet list them, however, and I'm wondering if I heard correctly. Has
anyone tried this new cane, and if so, what did you think? Also, how
does it compare to the new telescoping canes I heard they recently
came out with earlier this year? I've previously read on this list
that the new telescoping canes are better built and designed to stand
more wear and tear than the old ones which were fairly unreliable.

-Thanks
