>>2870079Adjust the height to suit the terrain, change the tips for different conditions, appreciate the nice ergonomic grips that don't give you slivers, pack it away when unneeded, unpack as it needed when no sticks around like above the treeline. Use the straps so if I fall crossing a river I dont lose it.
...and appreciate its light weight of around 7oz (200g) per pole. Any stick that could provide the same amount of strength would weigh much heavier.
Sticks are effective if available, trekking poles are just more effective
