Nice pictures, GH. I thought you were going to argue how much more beer you could pack in with the help of trekking poles.....

Dober
(remind me, which S&W is that?) And is that some kind of attachment on the MR belt for the holster to go on?

Yep that's the holster adapter. I also use the Kifaru gunbearer, but they are pieces of [bleep] and break about twice a year, usually when I wreck with a full pack and a rifle attached. I bought about a dozen of the uppers, which is the part that rips. Mark the pistole is a 360 Kit gun. Ultra light griz medicine.

I use old ski poles for backpacking because I got tired of the adjustable poles slipping when they get sand in them. I don't hunt with poles, but they are handy for packing meat.

I use old ski poles for backpacking. They unweight the leg joints and provide balance with a top heavy pack. They are really good for rocks and stream crossings.
Used ski poles are not adjustable, but they are cheap and never slip when you need them.

I rarely use poles. I've even carried them for testing on a weekend backpack in which we did 9000 feet of gain. I would have gladly let someone else use them, they usually seem more hindrance, unless the snow is deep. This was me (though not that much elevation gain). I bough some nice Black Diamond poles and really tried to like them, especially since one of my knees is not in great shape and acts up on downhills. I just can't seem to use them. Poles are too much of a hinderence for me. Of course part of that is I constantly hike with a dog leash in one hand, and my pooch continually gets her leash caught up in the poles.

Poles for me are invaluable on Wet ground, snow , ice, wet rocks, around dead falls and packing heavy loads of meat out.
The flip locks have never failed me.

It's not as good as 2 for helping the knees, but it's a lot better than none. I hunt with 1 because I find 2 to be in the way when carrying a rifle.
