I’m not a skeptic of hiking poles like I am of hiking boots but I’m curious if any pre-industrial people use(d) them

I don’t get them. Every time I pass people using them I want to interrogate them about how they use them and what they’re good for. I think they’re mostly psychologically reassuring? Maybe there’s some practical use for wobbly people too. I feel freer without, though.

I feel like I can downhill much faster with less impact on my shins/knees and feel more solid with less slipping. I'm fairly confident that if people raced downhill with and without hiking poles, the pole group would win.

Have you ever been in the downhill section of a hike and your joints are aching because you pushed yourself past your normal range? Subjectively, a hiking stick feels like a huge relief. It sends some of the force through the arms and takes some off the legs

I was thinking about this in part because I have a friend who is a very serious dance dance revolution player
