I like that idea


I made my own from 1/2” fiberglass poles…..the fiberglass strands run linear as to not get fiberglass fibers on the surface. I put a 1/2” slip-on rubber pad on the end with a brass rivet sticking out to give a bit of traction on hard-packs dirt. I lashed them together near the top to give as much elevation as I usually needed. They can be lashed together a bit higher if needed!

We’ve used ours as hiking poles on steep up or down hills, for balance when traveling through deadfall, and to pick our way through a snow covered rock field ( helps find the rocks without busting an ankle by stepping between them! memtb
