[pct-l] walking poles

[ecpg at peoplepc.com]

I have used them for the same reasons Marion uses them but I have a few times had them cut loose and fold when they shouldn't have.
I'm planning this year to go back to ski poles since they can't collapse. I have had this problem with more than one pair and even when they were fairly new, leading to a really bad fall in November on a wet wood bridge.I think I don't want to do that anymore.

 I do use them to whack at dogs and wayward goats.
