Good Poles

Black Diamond Trail Shock Trekking Pole

Black Diamond Trail Shock Trekking Pole

Rating for this product: 5 September 17, 2009

I never used poles and wondered if they would help. Always used only a walking stick. Poles are far superior. Walking on a road I did not find that they helped at all. However, on a trail I found myself relying on them almost immediately. They stabilize you. Found they very useful particularly on the downhill slopes.
The lock mechanism works well. I thought the poles would slip and require periodic adjustment. They did not. And they did not seem to flex or feel flimsy in any way. Since the tubing is not that large of a diameter this surprised me greatly.
I did not notice any difference on the shock resistance between the two poles. I think these same poles without the shock absorbers would work well ... but I believe the shock absorbers are worth the extra money.

Can this stove burn Coleman Lantern Fuel ... I saw it asked but I did not see an answer. I would think that would be the cleanest fuel.
