Walking Stick Basics

Should you carry a walking stick or staff? They improve balance in slippery stream crossings or on slick trails and allow you to use your upper body to power you on uphills. But they also unbalance your walking stride slightly and may be perceived as a weapon by other trail users. Decide based on personal preferences and the type of surface you normally walk on.
