Planning a camping trip and wondering whether you can fit your favorite walking stick? This unique design makes it an easy decision because it breaks-down to 18" sections that slip inside a water-resistant travel pouch for easy pack & carry. Hardened steel threaded inserts screw together firmly so once assembled, the pole is as strong or stronger than one-piece construction. Asian Bianbai wood has a dense fiber structure that combines the strength of hardwood with the low weight of bamboo. Rubber tip provides non-slip platform and is reinforced for durability. Remove the tip to reveal steel spike for traversing rock, compacted soil or ice.
