Hiking Sticks

The hottest ticket item at the Heritage Reservation Trading Post this summer was the Hiking Stick. They sold out almost as the store opened. 

Hiking sticks can be wood, fiberglass, carbon fiber, bamboo, telescopic, store bought, recycled, homemade or acquired along the way. A hiking stick can help you keep your footing on a rough trail and can give you something to lean on while you take a break.

Here is a handout on homemade hiking sticks

You can customize you own hiking stick with paracord, carvings and medallions.
