Thread: Hunting with Trekking Poles

having used both trekking poles and a bloody great manuka stick my thoughts are that any stick is better than none.

two poles are absolutely more stable on a track but in the bush I prefer one hand free.

with the manuka stick it comes up to about my shoulder and when I'm coming down a hill I will hold it in both hands like an oar and really lean hard on it to take my weight. works pretty well, is cheaper than a pole and it has never broke underneath me unlike several collapsible poles I have had
