>>985348I bought I hiking poles in the UK. Useful in hilly and or muddy terrain. Only paid £15.
When in Aus (where I'm from) I just grab a sturdy stick and work with that. I usually chamfer around the top, sharpen the bottom into a bullet tip and generally shape it to be comfortable to hold. I also strengthen the tip by firing it.
Problem is that if you use fallen wood it will split after a day or two. I've wanted to harvest fresh wood and learn how to treat it so that it will hold up but never gotten around to it.
>Question Is there any /out in China? I'm moving there for at least a year starting in august, and the net tells me that hiking / camping is not really a thing there. Apparently if the cops see you they will just take you to a hotel. Any China Bros have experience with this?
