I wouldn’t go on a hunt in rough terrain without them.
They are not just a “crutch” for flatlanders or older folks. They are tools that have earned their place in my gear.
This kind of sentiment would have been appreciated prior to the first North Coastal Elk Season. I’m pretty sure I was the only guy donning both a rifle and trekking poles for miles. Thankfully, I was either man enough or desperate enough to use them. They were a godsend.
I’m going to have to try a pair of Ultimate Direction’s 1 piece carbon fiber poles, especially now that sending them to Beaver would be redundant!
