BrazosHandcrafted Wood Walking Stick, Pine, Trekker Style Handle, for Men & Women, Made in The USA

I used it for carrying a lot of clothes at one time when moving in. It is very strong for the price. Straight polished surface. The strap is very useful too. The weight is on the heavier side for me, but still within the comfortable range to play with. Not slippery as how smooth it looks. I'm 6'2", the height is little short to use it as a hiking staff in my opinion.

It's certainly solid and durable.Great for walking and helps prevent falling while on hikes. Also doubles as a defensive aid for dogs and other potential dangers.

Love it. Being short in stature, it feels fine when I walk.

The length was perfect for me (I'm 6'). It's very durable. I've used it to cross roaring streams putting my body weight on the stick, and it held up fine. The reason I went with a full length stick, instead of those portable high tech walking sticks is I feel the length is beneficial when hiking on inclines in mountainous rocky territory. Also, I've lost sticks crossing rivers where I end up with just the handle, because the currents ripped the stick portion right out. And if you are assisting others with your stick, I've had collapsable sticks come apart, which isn't that great safety wise.Because this is a more natural wood, there was a slight bend halfway down my stick. So far, it doesn't seem to cause any issues with stability or structural integrity. Oddly, it's at the perfect distance on the stick, so that it balances at the bend.The other issues I had with the stick is that it did not come with a hiking point. I had to get a walking stick hardware kit to put at the end. Rockler sells one, and I used the medium sized. I had to sand the tip a bit to make the hardware kit to fit. But the stick is 100x better with one.The other issue I had is that the rubber tip that came with the stick is more of a furniture bottom. The stick is very thick at the bottom, about 1", might taper down to 3/4". But I found that the rubber tip that came with the stick was not suited for hiking on rocky surfaces. It would work fine if you were walking on even surfaces like a sidewalk or in the house. But the tip kept slipping on rocks when I put pressure at slight angles. And because of the thick nature of the stick, most hiking rubber tips will not fit. Which is why I bought the hardware kit so that I could get a hiking tip to fit on it.So for hikers, especially those that hike inclines, rocky terrain, or off terrain. I would strongly recommend you get a hardware kit to put on this stick.

It was so nice my girlfriend thinks I bought it for her….Lol

ProㅡLove life warranty. Conㅡ heavy.First time l bought at Ralphs Market had many choices of color. Loved "steady and light ". Bought regular size.(2 for me and 2 for my sister). Excellent walking at the park without falling.Decided buy 2 pairs smaller size at Amazon for birthday gift for elderly friend but surprisingly "heavy.!" From now on I will buy locally.

It’s a great product to keep me steady while walking in the yard! Height is good.

I'm 5'3" so I was concerned about getting a walking stick too tall. This size is perfect for me and it stops at my chest area. Doesn't feel heavy but at the same time sturdy. I purchased this due to stray dogs in the area I walk. Also has a rubber bottom at the base for stability.
