How many use hiking stick(s)?
I saw Oak's pic's - seems each had him with one. Realizing the weight those packs were holding may be the reason... though who uses 'em... pro's con's? Your favorite type? Do you use as a form of shooting stick(s) as well?
What do you most/least like about them?
I am going to be with a bit less balance then norm and my hiking will be limited - though my rehab PT had me walking with two the other day to help get my body balance in my arm movement / hip movement working in tandem with my leg movement... I don't think I would be interested in two for a brief 3/4- max 2mile hike (hopefully if my location works the way planned) though seeing the pics with Oak and a couple other random Hunt Talkers using one in pic's has me thinking it might be a good investment.
Thoughts?
