Canes and Walking sticks come in a varying degree of styles, colors and materials. Made from numerous different materials such as wood, bone or metal the possibilities are endless. You can find twisted walking sticks or shillelagh carved, wooden canes and ones crafted from metal and other materials. Walking sticks or canes are mostly used as a walking aid but can be used for other things such as hiking or climbing steep trails or even for self defense. A nature photographer may also use one to steady a camera in the wild.
You may remember one of your grand parents using a cane or walking cane on walks or just getting around. If you do a lot of hiking a walking stick or hiking pole can save the knees on steep climbs or decent by putting less stress or pressure on the knees and even ankles. You will be less prone to falls on rough terrain and can avoid a potential disaster while on the trail or walk. If you do a lot of beach exploring on sand and around tide pools a walking stick is a great addition for this uneven terrain and environment and for touching things in a tide pool before handling with the fingers.
A walking stick or cane can be also used for self defense. A shillelagh can be used for self defense and looks like a twisted cane traditionally made from blackthorn wood. The heavy end of the stick being the handle could be filled with lead. This can be a formidable weapon when pared up against an attacking person or opponent. Regardless a good walking stick or pole can have the same results if needed while hiking or walking.
If you do any amount of hiking or walking you may already have a walking stick, pole, staff or cane.
