Do the benefits of nordic walking poles outweight the disadvantages of looking like a fag/senior citizen?

Here's a hiking pro tip: In the woods, there are sticks everywhere. They are literally lying on the ground.

You’ve never camped more than a few days, and only in fair weather. You’re fat. You’ve never backpacked more than a few miles, and even then your focus was on camping rather than hiking. You don’t even know the difference between camping and hiking. Your feet are softer than the inside of a vagina. You think pemmican and whole potatoes are a good choice for hiking food. You don’t have a plan (probably the most important). You think pack weight isn’t important. You have no idea what you’re doing.

I do like feeling unencumbered for parts of some hikes, but using them especially when the terrain is more difficult just massively increases my endurance. Plus having 3 points of contact at all times on more treacherous sections of trail is enormously helpful. Who are you trying to look cool for in the woods anyways?

Bought some for helping me get through some ankle issues. Got through the issues with them and I'd never go back. Crossing rivers is way better, checking that you're about to stand on solid ground is awesome when you're in terrain that can have all sorts of holes and crumbly soft stuff. Pointing at stuff with your poles is awesome. Slippery ground, going down hill, going up hill. I use them help prop up my tarp when I make camp. The benefits go on and on and on, why the hell do we walk on two legs its shit.

Only downside is carrying a rifle with them isn't all that great.

there is no excuse other than poorfaggotry or laziness to not either buy a good stick (which comes with a lot of upsides like lighter weight and collapsibility so you can climb with them) or at least select a good stick out in the woods, bring it home, give it some finishing and keep it.

So what's the point of walking poles at all other than for checking snow depth? Genuinely curious, I find them to be a hinderance in rough terrain and in particular thick bush. Maybe I'm just using them incorrectly and have yet to see the light.

They're good for balance and stability when crossing streams and descending slopes down to waterfall bases. They take pressure off your knees on steep descents and are also useful on inclines. They help you look out for rattlers when you're hiking through grassy or bushy areas. And some people use them as poles for makeshift, lightweight shelters.

Poles are poles. Use them when overloaded to save your back.

Staves are for the poor. They're much more versatile.

I went traipsing around uninhabited private land once. So hilly I had to cut a sapling for a staff to get back out.

Still have the staff.
