    Which of these items is the most difficult to understand and master?

    Please do a follow up video about the pole straps, luckily someone told me on day one on how to use the straps to do most of the work

    • @caminotellers
      @caminotellers  2 місяці тому +1

      Great point! Only adjusting the straps from the bottom can save from possible injuries! Details matter

    What an awesome video - it’s so true people are overthinking it on a pilgrimage route. The way provides right?

    Well, the thing with the poles is that they’re a great bit of kit. However, they’re not a lot of good if the user doesn’t know how to walk in the first place.
    I keep coming across pilgrims who have tendinitis of the patella or of the tibia. Purely because they haven’t learnt how to ascend and/or descend correctly. Or that they’re not used to the long days on the hoof.
    Admitted, the choice of footwear has just as much bearing on this too.
    Thank you for a n other great article Ricky.

    Ciaooo Riccardo! Ci siamo incontrati due anni fa durante il cammino primitivo, quest'anno andremo a fare quello portoghese io e Gianluca. Mi sono iscritta sul tuo canale così seguirò i tuoi consigli. Buon camino! @caminotellers

    Using the poles properly. So many people are just waving them around or moving them forward together instead of alternately. Left right left right. It looks silly & the poles are useless like this.

    • @caminotellers
      @caminotellers  2 місяці тому +1

      The “hiking pole universe”! Others to add would be the strap fitted from the bottom.

    • @FrPeterJShaw
      @FrPeterJShaw 2 місяці тому

      I would say the proper use of the straps for the poles is widely misunderstood.

      Sounds great! And the via Transilvanica also sounds great , are there many bears on the way??

      @@caminotellers bears are animals that don't want to have contact with people, instead you have to watch out for the dogs in the sheepfolds, but with a spray and a few firecrackers it's ok

    I bought my poles just to find out that I cannot bring them on the plane with me. Most airlines (all?) do not allow them.
