[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1092767, member: 1742"] Did I answer your question at all in post 13? I just think you'll be much more stable with two poles vs. one and able to react to situations with two poles to keep you from stumbling/falling better than without poles and some better than with just one pole. I have kept myself from falls, some that would've been nasty, so many times just cause you can reach out with the necessary arm, plant a pole and catch yourself. You can really use these poles going up for some extra push up the hill and extend them more on the downhill to help cushion your legs/knees a bit more with each downhill step--body savers...make you more efficient. I use to blow them off and now don't go in the woods without them. I think, in many situations, most of us will have a more pleasant experience hiking/hunting with them than without them once the small learning curve is overcome. They can be a bit frustrating at first, though. I believe the GL145 is about 57" at full extension. [/QUOTE]
