[nabs-l] Recommendations for Cane

[Tori Clark]

I use the NFB telescope cane. It's pretty sensitive and easy to whip out when my dog can't help me. The only downfall is if you hit something too hard it'll start to...I guess fold up?  I'm not sure if you've seen a telescope cane.

> My most preferred kind of a cane is NFB folding cane made of carbon fiber. I like it for its light weight, tip, and foldability. But it does not seem as durable when it comes to collision. One only lasted for two weeks and one before that lasted about 3 months. (Normally my canes have been lasting me at least 6 months to the longest I have used it was 2 years)
