I've learned 2 poles is like having 4 wheel drive in many places. Helps tremendously especially when carrying something heavy on uneven ground.
I totally concur, Bryan encouraged me to get some about a decade ago. At first I thought hmm, then I thought hey if this fella who's in super shape and works his butt off in tough country uses them then maybe just maybe this mid life out of shape older man (note I didn't say old...) who's had a bunch of knee work done could use them as well.
Some of the best advice I've ever had!
Don't go anywhere without them.
