[pct-l] trekking poles

[Steel-Eye]

Good morning, Laura,

The leading brands seem to be Leki, Komperdell/REI and Black Diamond.  For 
lots of use Leki might be better because replacement tips are much more 
readily available.  I reduce weight by omiting things I don't use, such as 
the anti-shock springs and the wrist straps, although many hikers swear by 
those features.
