Thanks @goldendawne - Luckily I went down to the woods to setup up the bushcraft camp for this post a couple of mornings ago - before this rain, snow, sleet, and ice arrived :) A walking stick for your adventures sounds like a great idea. I find one most useful whenever I come across a creek where the only way across is a fallen over tree. It really helps keep the balance. When you find one that you really like it can become a nice trophy and momento from the adventures.
