Why Trekking Poles?

8/13/2015

So for those of you who haven't tried trekking poles or have a misperception that they are only for the timid, weak or old, check out this video from Leki.  It brings up several key points as to how trekking poles will increase your efficiency and help make your hikes safer and more comfortable as well!  

As a bonus this video (also from Leki), and this video from Chase Tucker discuss a few tools and techniques in fitting and using trekking poles.  In the Leki video, pay particular attention in the instruction as to how to properly use the straps.  It's not as easy as it looks!

    who is Ed?

    I'm a long-time hiker.  That's not to be confused with a climber, which I'm not.  I don't know every trail here in SoCal, but I've certainly been on a lot of them.  Rain or shine, to me, it's always time to get outside.
