trekking poles

When Im out hiking in nature, Im in injury prevention mode for an abundance of reasons. So that's when the trekking poles come out for me.

Also bring or rent trekking poles. They'll help on ascent and descent immensely.

Do you have trekking poles and know how to use them? They would help a lot in snowy and steep conditions.

Trekking poles game changer give you instant 30% boost.

I use them on most terrain, except for very flat smooth stuff like rail trails. I'm older and even moderate downhill is rough on my knees and ankles. I recently bought a new tent that uses trekking poles instead of packing regular ones along. Now I'll use them even more.

They can reduce strain on your legs, provide additional balance on steep inclines/declines, and (if desired) allow you to use a trekking pole tent to reduce weight.

I find poles to be particularly advantageous going steeply downhill, where they absolutely do make things easier on your knees and legs, but slowing your momentum with poles gives you a solid workout of your arms and back in muscles many people don't use otherwise.

Trekking poles are always a safe bet. They will help with balance, stability and endurance depending on distance and what you are carrying.
