Not exatcly what you were asking, but little hint from Finland anyway: Nordic Walking.

Not too sure I trust a site that tells me this:

 

"For a person of your height (160 cm) the best pole (nordic_walking) is 0.0 cm long."

 

I think I need a walking stick a bit longer than that.

I got mine from Eastern Mountain Sports. Aluminum, telescoping, with a thick grip, and a cork knob on the top that unscrews to reveal a camera mounting screw. It extends from 2 feet to 5 feet and fits perfectly into a holster made from a carabiner on my backpack.

I havent been caching long but for a long while I used an old mop handle while hiking, worked like a charm and was free. Recently I was clearing some land and hard to cut down alot of very large boxwood shrubs--took a couple of the really straight ones dried them out for a while and they seem fine too but probably not as durable as some type of hardwood.

I have one that I got from the local Hiking Spree....covered with all sorts of shields from every year I've completed the hiking spree
