[Sportsandrec] hiking

[JUSTIN LOUCHART]

I use a variety depending upon what country I'm in, etc. I think our
standard poles are Leki.

I usually sweep with my cane, exceptions are when dealing with
extremely fragile ground or when needing to test rock faces.

Mine are both telescopically extendable, my cane comes up to 59 inches
on my 64 inch frame, and my trekking pole comes up to something like
57 inches.
