[pct-l] 45 Uses for Trekking Poles

[Doug Carlson]

This is the first time I have heard of animals eating the handles of
trekking poles.  

I just discovered another reason why I use the tent I use and sleep with my
poles inside the tent.

My brand new pole handles were eaten while holding up my tent(by deer or elk
on Arizona trail).Of course then I used duct tape to fashion replacements
and they have lasted another 2,000 miles and counting.
I use my feet and hiking poles to stamp out bike tire prints on trail 'cause
to see them makes me angry  so maybe I save a hiker behind me that reaction.
It calms me down -  makes me feel like I'm doing something   Marmot

using a pole to support a 6 moon design tent, I awoke to find it chewed off
and carried off.
