Are Ultralight Trekking Poles really worth all the hype? A walking stick is free and does the same thing for hiking. This is a question that we will try to answer. Also, why does the Ultralight Backpacking Community love them so much when they are all about minimalistic hiking?
This is by no means a detailed gear review of trekking poles. Think of it as ponderings of a man while in the woods.
If you've been hiking or backpacking for a long time then you may already know the answer, but if you're cheap like me then you still may need a little more convincing.
Let's breakdown the pros and cons of backpacking or hiking with trekking poles and compare the benefits to hike with a good old trusted stick verses spending $100, $200, $300 on a set of trekking poles that will more than likely live in your back the majority of the time.
