Wanderfreund:Quality,Design,Versatility

Purchased Wanderfreund for an extended fishing trip to Idaho/Montana. 2008 water levels and velocity were unusually high due to Herculean snow pack and resultant run off. I have just returned without immersion thanks in large part to my "freund" the Leki which allowed me to return from rivers to shore dry on several occasions. This staff is light but strong and worked well in the battle with 5,000 to 7,000 CFM flows. The design of the handle is exceptional in that it allows a horizontal as well as a vertical grip depending on the needs of the situation. Trekkers in hilly or steep country will find this very useful as well, especially on the downhill where vertical pressure is indispensable. Conventional hiking will be assisted by the alternative grip to rest the grip and wrist on occasion. The WF is well constructed and designed allowing quick and sure extension for use and telescoping from three to one piece for ease of storage or packing after use. This is a quality and practical purchase for a good price.
