Trekking Poles VS Walking Sticks - whiteblaze.net
2011年5月27日 · I like the Hammer HP1 hiking poles because they come with a compas/thermometer, but they also cost money. Walking sticks are heavier, being made out of some trail-adjacent pine or hardwood, but are simply a piece of wood. Did anybody with trekking poles regret them?
