[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1209240, member: 54178"] Mainly I use mine as you do, for saving my knees on descents and helping my legs on ascents. Then there's the line from "Animal Farm" I use regarding trekking poles and stream crossings: "Four legs good, two legs bad." But creative uses abound as we have seen above. However I have some cautions about trekking pole use [B]BAD uses for trekking poles:[/B] 1. holding pots over a fire 2. stirring food 3. stirring wasp nests 4. poking bears, snakes, mountain lions, sleeping hiking companions, animal scat 5. spear fishing 6. gigging frogs 7. stirring coals in a camp fire 8. skewering meat to roast on a fire 9. prodding one's spouse for ANY reason other than to save their life. AND #10 -> propping up your scoped rifle when not in use (A good scope is a terrible thing to waste) [/QUOTE]
