Look like Black Diamond to me. I don't think there is much wrong with any of the major brands of walking poles, I have a pair of Komperdells which were a good deal and have a lifetime warranty if you manage to break them.

Had a pair of Macpac carbon fibre poles before that which were a bit lighter but only lasted a couple of years before the tips snapped or fell off.

Poles are Black Diamond Contour. Chose them because the poles are oval and have better strength than round poles. Usefullwhen using them as tent poles for my Tarp. Also they have cam locking extensions which also are stronger than the twist to tighten types.

The orange Hunters element bag is the 25 litre Bluff packable daypack

Thank you

Saw is good to cut fire lanes if you are over watching a clearing, or cut fire wood if required etc..
