Who got the bad joke? Was it as bad as I thought it was? After you let me know, check out this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLmuEnxpVewublPyxyhkNYGwI1gqUiNhow.html
Hey Daylon, awesome video! Though I am not an avid hiker, I do have a trekking pole by accident (it's a tripod, trekking pole combo) and it's pretty nifty. I feel like a wilderness hunter whenever I use it. Loved the little boot tips. Great review!
Nice! I've seen quite a few people with Leki's and Black Diamond poles where the tips were very worn down! But if you use the rubber tips whenever possible, it's a good call, if you aren't afraid of losing them :D
I believe you are incorrect in reference to the markings. I think they are inches (smaller numbers) and centimeters (larger). If you put both sections to the same marking then that should be height from tip to top of handle. So if both are on "46" it will be 46 inches in total length
I am cheapo and hike mostly in sandy desert surfaces . I went total Little John from Robin Hood and purchased a single 7' x 1" diameter bamboo stick from the 99 C store, took drive to Home Depot attached rubber tips to both ends. It's surprisingly light, and does not slip on rocks, sturdy, I slide my hand up and down on it for up and down hill situations, I can push aside dried shrubbery with it as I hike from a distance, or keep from getting bitten by rattlers from 7' away. Keep coyotes and other critters at bay with it. It's so versatile. Great for short hikes. I drive a 4X4 truck so storage and transporting it is not a problem. Just a though for all of the MacIver hikers out there who do not want to spend $100 on a $3 problem. lol

I'm glad you snuck the Walmart poles in your review of these! I was trying to decide between the two 😏. Thanks for the help.
I do not own trekking poles. But I do love me a good tool review. Right up there with AvE and his tool reviews. 👌🏼
As we get older, our knees don't feel as good. I highly recommend getting a set sometime if you take hikes often!
Great vid. Thanks for this. It was helpful as I just recently purchased these poles.
Thank for sharing info for trakking.
I love trakking too.
Thank you! Keep an eye out, a hike is planned soon, video on that will be in a few weeks!
I use my walking tips with snow shoeing tip for added aluminum tip protection with no adverse problems so far.

Love the channel name, cool content. You have my support.
Thank you! Anything you aren't liking that I could change or do slightly better?
Thanks for those tips.

I'll have to double check. Before I recorded this I measured both sides and they both appeared to be inches, but I'll check again!
I saw something advertised as a combination "selfie-stick trekking pole". I can only imagine it would do a lousy job at both. :)
Hahahaha I'd probably break it. Or the camera attached to it would fall off.
