I love mine. Usually just one and not both. i like a free hand for pics ect. I use mine for shelter support. I have the low cost Leki - 69 I think they were. They are old enough that I do not remember. But to tell you the truth I like the ash shovel handle from Home depot a lot better for support. I can pole vault over small creeks with the shovel handle. The only problem is that it is not adjustable for shelter height.
Bottom line - I like to hike with a stick of some sort.
