I hiked Philmont in 1999 and 2003 with TREKING Poles.
I agree with everthing already said...........don't leave home without them.
We had adults and youth that used them this past summer.
Helps the knees and also can be used to put up the Dining FLY...........so
you have one less item to check out and carry for crew gear. Also treking
poles allow you to make the dining fly higher off the ground so that it is
easier to work and sit under.
I have GREAT photos our our guys this past summer playing CEO (a card game)
under the dining fly in the rain, all sitting on cut log stools. They found
the log stools close to our campsite near Philips Junction.
TREKING poles are GREAT!!!
Got mine at REI...............looking forward to a BIG REI rebate amount in
2004 from all the stuff I bought in 2003 for my philmont trek.
