After using a walking staff for years, I switched to a cane about 30 years ago. I prefer it over anything else. It gives me the necessary "3rd point of contact" for safety/stability/support, but leaves my other hand free (which is especially handy when carrying a rifle). Think of it as an ice axe like tool for a walker rather than a climber.

As I said earlier in the thread, I still have a pair of BD Carbon Cork Trekking poles, but I doubt they will ever replace my Komperdell Cane.

Great pic Brad!!! Not sure about a cane style but better give it a try. Looks like a great bino platform for glassing at the very least. In that country optics better be glued to your eyes. A comfy set up will produce more game. Ground pad to sit on. Cane to rest bins on. Nice man.
