[BlindTlk] [BlTlk] Using your cane

[Ericka]

Some days I have balance issues in those rolling ones just don’t make me feel safe. I get the idea that sometimes you just want more information surrounding you which the rolling ones can give. I could never use those on ice and snow. I would fall on my butt more than I already do! With the flat end on the NFB K tips I can use it as a support if I need to. It’s also been more gripping and studying on ice and snow. I just kind of push it along in front of me and it kind of makes a path in snow.  The rolling ones are really good on grass compared to other ones that just dig holes. :-) 

By the posterior just goes to prove that there is no right to wrong Kane or Kane tip. Just where it works best for the person, surroundings and season.
