[Blindtlk] cane travel question: trailing or no trailing?

[Chris Nusbaum]

I thought that was Maurer.  What was that story anyway about the 
chainsaw? My mom said something about that the other day, but I 
didn't know what she was talking about.

I have seen these guys do it.   They have game.  I used to hear 
about jernigan and his chain saw.

That one blew me away too.  I can't imagine running with a cane.

I didn't realize people jogged with canes.  Forgive me for asking
what may be a silly question, but how is it done?

I use  a combination of  two-point touch and     constent
contact.  I
think that situationally, they both work fine.  I would  suggest
getting a handle on contact technique, then  challange yourself
with
touch.  Shorelining, or  trailing is good at times, when you are
looking for a pathway that is set along a grass line, but  I
don't use
it for looking for a door, unless the door it's self is  blended
aginst the wall you are caning past.
 also, while I do like white NFb canes, I also like  the Iowa
canes,
they are a little top-heavy, but I like the rolling-tip like
feature
they have, and I think they work very good for jogging/running,
if
you wish to go that route too.

 I'm going to have to agree on this one.  I occasionally trail if
 I'm looking for a specific door, but even then it's not always
 necessary.  Whether you use a folding or rigid cane, if your
 technique is correct you should have no trouble.  (Trust me,
it's
 taken me awhile to develop as much confidence as I as far as
 speed of travel goes.  I know how you feel.)
