I usually have a single walking stick. It's good to get the webs n leaves away too. But I worry more of things with bigger fangs ... Quote Link to comment
+Smitherington Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 As I walk through the woods I am waving my walking stick to clear spider webs that would otherwise end up in my face. And they sometimes bring the spiders too. 2 Quote Link to comment
+vw_k Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I take a cheap extendable hiking pole with me. I can use it for poking into dirty, creepy holes, beating foliage out of the way, retrieving dropped/unreachable caches and it helps me feel more secure when climbing/descending slopes etc. You don't need and expensive one, any pole with a bit of a spike/metal tip on the end will do. 1 Quote Link to comment
+BAMBOOZLE Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 We use hiking sticks and I have a 1/4 inch SS rod about a foot long with a bend on the end for probing in holes. About 90%+ of micros I find using a 3 " extension mirror........a small pocket screwdriver with magnet on the end also gets used. 1 Quote Link to comment
