Great post!

Pints, I never go anywhere in the backcountry without my cane! Us over-60 guys need all the help we can get grin

It must be something about the handle design and use. I've seen you post this a couple of times and my first thought was, "I can make a trekking pole the shorter length to use as a cane....". Can you elaborate or shed a better light on that Brad?

As to the subject matter of the topic, I've used multiple shelters for which one can substitute a trekking pole; but, I always prefer the dedicated separate pole. My exception to that would be if I know I was popping smoke every day.
