>>1807274Using 1-2 walking sticks (from FREE branches you find on the ground) can make a huge difference on a hike, especially off trail, incline, decline.
It gives you stability, harder to slide, WAY easier to climb and slide down since you use your whole body.
If your legs get tired you simply start pushing with your arms more.
There is a reason why people in the old days always had walking sticks.
Aluminum 60$ sticks that KAREN use are a meme though. Its like women who buy apple products and prada bags.
