Black Ovis/Camo fire had 2 models on sale this morning. Their sales are short lived, if I remember correct these items are only on sale for a few more hours today.

Sparkleberry makes a nice hard cane with little work.  Just have to find one shaped the way you want. Strip the bark off and let it dry.  I walked through the woods one day with a saw and cut a couple with a good shape and gave them to my dad.

What the heck is Sparkleberry?  I'm going to have to look this up. There's so many kinds of trees!  I have a staff out of cedar that is the most perfect shape. I think I could look for a lifetime and not find another like it.

I just use a 1" piece of PCV pipe with caps glued to the ends. I can throw it in the back of the truck and leave it. I use about a 6 foot length. I made 2. I made it mainly for wading while duck hunting but use it in the deer woods too or hiking. Bubba

Greg, I'm not well versed on trekking poles, but you might find what you're looking for in a wading staff. They usually collapse in 3 sections to about a foot in length and ride in a belt pouch, and they're fairly strong for their construction - no problem leaning on them even if you only want to use it as an assist.
