#174453 - 01/30/13 10:45 AM Re: Walking Sticks [Re: 4evrplan]
CamperMom member Registered: 01/04/02 Posts: 1228 Loc: Eastern MA, USA	One of my friends used bamboo to make a pack frame and walking sticks. (Sorry, I don;t have any pictures.) He has used these for years. To reinforce his bamboo hiking sticks, I think he wrapped some sort of twine around the ends and applied epoxy. Some people "invest" a couple of bucks in rubber cane tips from a medical supply of some sort. CM
