Walking Staff

[Lodrorigdzin]

I absolutely agree with Tobus. Such a stick might look quite nice but will be far more of a fashion accessory instead of a real help for a serious hike. I have a two piece cane/walking stick that screws together and is pretty solid, but a cane is different from the longer staff

If you need a hiking staff that is portable they can be had, but they aren't going to look the part of a highland gent's crook.

I have one similar to this and it works very well. Not particularly attractive, but given a choice between a pretty stick and a functional one I'll take the one that is going to be a help instead of a fashion accessory on the trail.

I've found a modern day equivalent to be the Wanderfreund hiking staff that's made by Leki. Now, I've got the old model with the cork crook, since then, they've gone all plasticky and ugly and have produced one that's far more ugly. It's a functional pole, not traditional of course, but it's great for hiking and it breaks down into a small package.
