and when using it as a walking stick... get a little length of webbing and make a sling to attach it to your wrist... you do not want to drop it when you need it and watching it slide off into the distance.... or, you do not want it stuck in the ice when you loose your footing, watching it shrink into the distance as you accelerate down the slope with nothing to self arrest with.
This is the voice of experience speaking.
