If you have ever owned a walking stick you understand how helpful they can be. When you get tired or hurt you can use one of these tools to help assist you in moving around. However, you may not have known about all the add-ons that can be purchased for your walking stick.
One nice accessory for the walking stick is the rubber “boot” made for it. This attachment will slip over the end of your walking stick and allow you to get better traction on the ground. A lot of walking sticks have this included because of how valuable it can be.
The next good accessory is a strap that is attached to the handle of your walking stick. This helps you hold onto it and if you lose grip it won’t fall to the ground. Normally these are attached through a hole in the stick and not tied around it. This allows for the strap to have a tighter grip.
Another cool thing to add to your walking stick is a spike for the end. This spike is designed so that you can get a better grip in ice and snow or even in mud. By shoving the spike into the ground you assure yourself of even better footing.
Some people also like to add stickers and buttons that help personalize their walking sticks. These can either show some places where you have gone or just be used to make your walking stick a little more colorful.
There are also many other add-ons and accessories for your walking stick. You can even decorate it to make it more personalized. The best thing to do is figure out what you need and then add on some of the wants afterwards. This will ensure that you are ready for your next hike!
