Everyone Needs Two Trekking Poles
II know, you say, “oh, I am young virile, “tough” old people use walking sticks when they hike”. Well, nearly every time that I hike, I encounter some intrepid hiker with “the story of the day”; some close encounter with a snake, they didn’t see or hear, or an injured knee or worse. Yes I admit I was skeptical too, but I assure you that trekking poles, high quality, light weight poles are an essential in every hiker’s gear set.
Buy two high quality, latch locking collapsable trekking poles and use them. No matter how old you are, or in how good shape that you are in physically our joints, especially our knees are a weak link. Simply having the sticks to aid with balance in the event of a loose rock or footing, to probe a wet spot to ascertain its depth or to make fist contact in brush or rocky areas to scare off a snake or other predator maybe the difference between a good day with an awesome story to tell your couch potato friends on Monday or a tale of woe on the trail and a trip to the hospital or worse.
While on the trail at Mt Tammany a hiker in front of me encountered a rattlesnake with a broken rattle. The hiker came within two feet of it, but his walking stick alerted the snake early and caused it to rustle possibly saving him from a rattlesnake bite and a very bad day.
