[pct-l] walking poles

[Jerry Goller]

Try Black Diamond trekking poles. They are pretty much bomb proof. I've got
8 or 9 different pair of them. 
The only pair I've had slowly collapse on me had a manufacturing defect and
they were promptly replaced.

I have used them for the same reasons Marion uses them but I have a few
times had them cut loose and fold when they shouldn't have.
I'm planning this year to go back to ski poles since they can't collapse. I
have had this problem with more than one pair and even when they were fairly
new, leading to a really bad fall in November on a wet wood bridge.I think I
don't want to do that anymore.
 
 I do use them to whack at dogs and wayward goats.
