Why trek with poles?
-When you are carrying a pack, it helps distribute the weight to more of your body. Your shoulders, arms will take some of the burden off of your legs.
-Also helps with your stability and balance when you have your pack on.
-When you are moving and using them correctly, trekking poles will assist in traction and propulsion.
-When going uphill, trekking poles will help you dig in and give you something to lean on when making those steep ascents.
T-rekking poles will keep you centered and hold you back when traveling downhill. I find that they really save my knees.
-You can use them to check the depth of water, snow, and mud.
-When crossing a stream they can be used to maintain footing on slippery surfaces, and to maintain balance on logs and rocks.
-Can be used to clear out spiderwebs, brush, and limbs.
-I once used mine to coax a snake off the path.
-Could be used to defend yourself from wild animals, domestic animals, or crazy people.
-Can be used to prop up a shelter, or to construct other useful devices (Prop stick, camera prop).
Why not trekk with poles?
Just one more thing to keep up with?
