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 don’t know much about the poles. They always puzzled me, but when I ski I don’t always use them, they seem mostly superfluous, except for bump twizzling, so I figured it might be a personal idiosyncrasy.

yeah when I was little they taught kids to ski without poles and I always liked that better

when I grew up and started using poles they felt unnecessary but I carried them around and did plant turns for fashion’s sake
