Hiking Staff
I recently started hiking/geocaching, so I needed to make a hiking staff. Its a great tool and you don’t realize how useful it is until you try it. Here are some of the things it is good for:
- Pulling yourself up a steep hill as well as slowing you down on the way back.
- Maintain your balance as you cross creeks and muddy areas.
- Pull a hiking buddy.
- Point out interesting things.
- Something to hold on to while you are walking.
Here is the one I really want to make ( need more time ):
