Walking poles, washing line props, tree branches....the list goes on, but I wanted to see what the majority of you use? I've seen purpose built, telescopic poles, but there's not much chatter on these?
I'm yet to get my head around walking poles, but that's the old squaddie mentality coming through I guess.
Has any used something like this?

I have the older version in the vid, bought from RVOps about 3 years ago. Like he mentions the wingnut catches on everything, luckily I've not managed to break or lose one yet. If I was buying again I'd go for the lighter version with the twistlock.
Don't you use these more than you walking poles? It seems the design is based on the walking poles and he kinda of explains that in the video too.

You don't have to get your head 'round walking poles mate, I have a pair which I wouldn't dream of using for walking with but they weigh nothing, pack so you don't know they're there and do the job a treat.
I cut the rubber handles and all extraneous trim off mine, glued a small rubber cap on top & bottom and the job's a good'un..........................atb mac
I wouldn't say I use them more than my poles, it depends what kind of trip I'm doing. If I'm hiking then I have my Pacer Poles, if I'm in the canoe then I'll pack the basha poles as the walking poles aren't needed, but I do want something for my tarp pull outs. The new basha poles in the vid just use the same twist lock mechanism for locking them off.
I wouldn't want to use basha poles as walking poles
