Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting trekking pole info

+1 on this. I got the Black Diamond Carbon Corks. The one feature you should absolutely get is the flick lock, the screw/barrel locks suck. Carbon fiber and cork handles are are just nice additions, I've had barrel locks that have froze up and I couldn't collapse in a situation when I really needed them to. I saw the shock absorber models and ergo grip handles, for me, it was just more weight and cost. BD or Leki both make good stuff, if you can, handle several before you buy and balance cost with feel.

For when you get a little older......

Started using trekking poles or walking sticks after an ankle injury about 3 years ago. I now use them every trip Into the Woods. Whether I'm walking the dog or hunting, I always have a stick/pole with me. It is one of the most helpful piece of equipment I have whether it's stepping over Deadfall or climbing up a hill with a pack on. The benefit of using a pole is amazing. Unlike some others though I only use one pole And I never have my hand in the wrist strap. If something happens I want my hand instantly free not wrapped up with 4 foot pole attached to it!
