5 Reasons You NEED to Use Trekking Poles

Описание: In this video, Tayson, and other members of the Outdoor Vitals team, breaks down 5 reasons why you should be using trekking poles (or hiking poles) as a hiker or a backpacker if you aren't using them already. The reasons include Feeling like it's hiking in 4-wheel drive, the weight savings you get when you can pack a trekking pole tent as opposed to a free-standing tent, the added stability that can help you traverse mountain streams or rocky terrain, the protection it can grant you from wild animals (or whatever you need to shake a stick at), and the added protection from injury via the added stamina trekking poles can grant an adventurer. Not only are those reasons for using trekking poles discussed, but Tayson gives a bonus tip for picking out the trekking pole that's right for you, and tells you about OV's new deal with Komperdell for Live Ultralight Members.
