BF

I don't use a pole

I'm still using a long stick. Since I can't have the original 'give-away,' will you give me a two-person backpacking tent instead?

I had to try . . . <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Man.....this is getting RIDICULOUS! Should i post it under Almost Over The Hill as "What type of CANE do you use?"????? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Hey, I'm not geriatric, just slow to check out trekking poles! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> If you want to apologize for implying I'm ancient, you could still give me a tent . . . <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Anyone? Helloooooooooooooo........................

BF

Ok, a straight answer....a converted ski pole. (conversion requires changing the name from 'ski' to "trekking" pole).

Did I win? Yes?! I rock!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

What brand? Leki, Black Diamond, Ti-Goat, Hi-Tec, Pacer, Gossamer,Etc?

bf

OK, bigfoot. I'll bite. Pacer Poles.

Leki Super Makalu Cor-Tec PA.

Satisfied? I just got out of bed so I could answer your question.... <g>

I use the REI Peak UL Carbon Compact Trekking Poles and absolutely love them.

A discontinued pole. The Cascade Designs Treker3. Not a useful reply if they are no longer available.

However, I will say the TI Goat Adjustable Poles.

Edit: Just checked and the TI Goat Poles are out of stock. That is not a useful answer either.

Komperdell Titanal, with summer baskets. Somewhat scarred and worn.

Okay, II'm a sucker for a PM, Have been using old Leki Makalu trekking poles, but am in the process of coverting to a hickory stick, as I get older and more old fashioned.

El cheapo Guide Gear poles.

I have a cheap swiss gear set I got at wal-mart for 13bux. Wanted to give them a try before spending more on a decent pair.

I have a cheap Swiss Gear. Now that I know I like using one, I am looking to buy a new set.

Leki tour.

Ok, the suspense is, well, kinda there, so I'll bite: I use a Black Diamond pole.

2.4oz http://www.gossamergear.com/cgi-bin/gossamergear/Lightrek3_Trekking_Poles.html
Amazing poles. 115cm

WE HAVE A WINNER!

The reason i made everyone tell me what pole they had is because i am testing this;

http://www.thestickpic.com/

I was sent two different sizes and only one fits. The Sticpic i was giving away is their #2 model that fits Leki, Ti-Goat, Fizan, Pacer, Gossamer and Hitec poles. Wow!...a $14.99 value...FREE!
Congradulations to Kbennet! You Just won! You were the first person to respond that had a pole that fits this model of Sticpic!

Cool, bigfoot. I'm hoping that kbennett just left for a nice long backpacking trip. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm using swiss gear hiking poles. Bought at wally world . $14.95

Sorry, man, I'm working this week. No long backpacking trips.

In that case, enjoy your stickpic, Big Cranky. It looks like a lot of fun.

Komperdell C6 Carbon fibre jobbies.

I use a carved wooden staff with a small directional compass recessed in the top. I have added a nylon webbing strap and wrapped extra chord for a handle. Also, I've wrapped several feet of line for extra guy lines etc. So I know I won't win the prize and it would not fit what I use anyway. When I add little things to my gear weight on one trip, I end up not using things on the next trip because I added xtra weight and found things to be usless. I have a pile of usefull/useless things.

Thanks everyone who responded....we have a winner...Kbennet!

BF
