Thread: Hiking poles, whos uses them?

All of the above.
I have been using them for a few years now.
Don't piss around with one. Once you've used 2 you will never go back.
Collapsible and easy to store out of the way when you don't need them, great for crossing rivers and a huge help up hill and down. As others have said, vary the length depending on what you are doing. Handy fly poles too.
