Ross is right, trekking poles are the bomb. Even if you're not carrying lots of weight, but hunting really step country, they can really make a difference. Good job.

Those carbon fiber ones are the ones I just got and they are the bomb ! First thing I noticed when I started is they really lenghtened my stride. The stability they added made me relax and step out more off trail. Second thing I noticed was I needed to work them into training as they worked my arms and shoulders in ways they were not used to and was sore in some places. Its like having handrails to steady yourself all the time

I love my black diamond trekking poles, and the article was great!

OK, 1 pole or 2?

Definitely 2. Never saw the point of just taking one pole.
