Trekking Poles

[Blockcaver]

If you use your poles for shelter poles and cross country ski poles I like to extend them well beyond my normal hiking length.

And if you loan them to someone much taller or shorter than you, adjustable is a good option too.

But I could make do with a fixed 117 cm length I’d just hunting with them. If I could buy 117 cm poles, haha. I set the bottom extension at 115 and the upper at 120, works for me.

I love/hate my Leki carbon poles. At 50yrs old, they are a must coming down the mountain heavy. Also nice wading deep/fast water, stabilizing binos, holding up a rain tarp while you glass... I only hate them because they make me feel my age sometimes.
