[QUOTE="Lee Deming, post: 2815934, member: 107264"] Yeah, I’m not disabled except being older-67. Been using trekking poles for about 5 years while hiking and hunting Montana. It sounds like your wife’s physical stability could be helped by trekking poles. I have two bad knees but can still do 12 mile days out and back in rough terrain and the poles are unbelievable with the stability and stamina gains. You can use them for shooting sticks or to put up a temporary tarp shelter in the rain or heat. Get her used to them before you come to Montana if you can. Oh, and don’t let anyone tell you to buy the most expensive poles. I’ve put at least 100’s of miles if not 1,000’s on mine in every possible terrain out here hunting, fishing, hiking and backpacking and I bought them from Costco. $30 or $40, I can’t remember. The only drawback is keeping the bog disks on the poles in high grass or weeds. Even then, tuck them under an arm or in your pack until you walk out of the grass. Or take the disks off the poles. Some of the most serious backcountry bow hunters wouldn’t leave their pickups without them. Anyway, good luck. [/QUOTE]
