Holy-Moly. Totally awesome video. Just what I needed to finalize my pole purchase.
My joints are shot so trekking poles are a must! I actually like the shock absorbing ones, they are easier on my knees going down hill. I hear ya on the burnout �� you do you, and we will join you when you post something new! Have fun in Utah!
Hey Bryce! I really like your channel and content. When I saw how you put your hand through the straps, I felt I needed to make a comment, even if you don’t use them. Like you said there is a big risk of injuries if you fall. And specially if you fall forward. If you put your hand through the straps like you did, you can break your thumb when you catch yourself falling. But if you put your hands through the other way, there is less risk of breaking anything really. I should know, since I’ve competed in skicross and been skiing since I was 3. Maybe this will help someone else, or get you to try using the straps. �� Greetings from Sweden, keep the videos coming!
Thanks Ras. Very good trekking pole primer and expert advice. Double poling is very useful on technical terrain allowing the runner to easily hop over rocks, roots, small creeks and dead bodies. Thanks again.
I bought a pair of aluminum Cascade Mountain Tech for $20 about 3 years and they’re still going strong.
I dont always use poles…. but when I do, they are Gossamer Gear. ��
I’m a barefoot hiker, and i used a crafted walking stick for a few years. I find i’m very fast agile on the trail. However, occasionally, you’re going to step on painful things and having a way to quickly shift your weight off that foot is valuable. A friend gave me an old trekking pole, and i definitely like it, but if it breaks, i’ll go back to my stick no problem.
uhm, good for you I guess. Call me old, but this is such a weird trend. I was in boy scouts for decade plus in 80s-90s, and nobody considered using skipoles in summer.. We made fun of old ladies walking with these. Think I’ll be ok walking “old fashioned way”. Less crap to carry, and don’t look like a dork.
Super helpful & informative…. doing Baldy, San G & San Jacinto in one day… on September 10th Three Saints Challenge… you’ve helped me out!! Maaahalo.
Costco and Amazon have the Cascade carbon fiber and aluminum sets. I have the aluminum and there very reliable and have a cork handle. I fell on it snowshoeing and bent the bottom section pretty good, bent it back and still use them. I don’t know the weight but for $35-55, they work and the locks are good, the poles are tuff and reliable
Before our Colorado Trail thru hike in 2019 we were off and on with trekking poles. After having used them day in and day out for 500 miles it is easy to see why they are good have and use, even on easy terrain.
I use the rubber ends for in the car to not poke a hole in anything accidently.
Hey Bryce have you let Restless outdoors do a durability test on your poles? lol
I bought a cheap pair last yr.from Amazon but find it hard to film etc..think last hike at mohican my wife claimed them….I agree on the filler videos,but you do good stuff cool editing etc some Bushcraft be cool though…..
Kia Ora Ras, good to see another Ras outdoorsman

Great video, Bryce. I can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t be using poles unless they leave them behind because it’s easier to handle camera gear. When I first started hiking, I just assumed it was common sense to use poles. I’m still surprised when I see backpackers without them. It’s an essential piece of gear for the reasons Bryce covered.
Very informative video, everything very well explained. Thanks!
Well, I hear you and understand your points.
But trekking poles are SO NOISY. Even a single trekker/runner with poles makes insane noise. Nature is not intended to include trekkingpoles!
Yes definitely a personal preference for using trekking poles
And I have a pair of Walmart trekking poles that was given to a family member because he needed them it did help
And I to have a secondary set that is now my main set and they are from Cascade mountain carbon fiber quick lock and I do not remember exactly the weight so I’m going to say they are approximately 7.5 Oz each
And I have used them in tarp tenting and with my cheap trekking Pole tent that’s only 2 lb 2 person
It’s not the lightest and definitely not the heaviest more like a semi in between
And don’t worry about making YouTube video contentit’s all up to the individual person who is trying to think of ideas if you have any and if you don’t Don’t worry about it
Just keep having fun on your trips and don’t forget to film what you think is best
And by the way here’s a question for which program do you use to edit your videos with are you using Windows or Mac
At 68, poles do make a difference. Don’t hike without them.
Started using my ski poles for trekkers some 25 years ago. Will never go back. So good for the knees and my back (I’ve never been a UL packer!) Put your hand down thru the loop and spin so the webbing is under your thumb joint. Then you dont have to grip and you get extra downward strength. Also poles are great for tarping or setting a tent into porch mode.
What if your only day hiking or base weight is super low? John Z doesn’t use them, why should I:P (I use them…)
Nice video Bryce. Fortunately I also need trekking poles for my tent but I even use them on day hikes. Makes a world of difference with elevation changes and crossing streams
i have the “Leki Corklite Antishock” for 3 years now and my back, hips, legs, arms, shoulders and my GoPro hero session 5 are very lucky and happy to have them lol 😉
I like that phrase you use Sitting is lethal. Excellent over all vid in a stunning location. I have a couple or minor suggestions: 1. The wind noise is a bit distracting. I don’t know if you can protect the mic from wind with some foam over it if you’re using a mobile phone. 2. Even though you don’t use poles when moving downhill I’d still like to know how to use them on a descent.
Bryce, I love your videos but here I feel I ought to correct you on something. Those little rubber tips are worth keeping and using most of the time. Like 95% percent of the time while on trail. What happens when you don’t use them is those hard metal tips aerate the soil around the sides of the trail and this actually breaks down and erodes the trails all too quickly. I know this because I am a trail maintainer in GA with the GATC. You should keep them on there unless conditions are icy or so slick that those rubber covers are not helping. That’s it sermon is over. Take that info for what you will. Love your videos and looking forward to the next one!
When I use the poles my ankle I tweaked as a kid doenst bother me the next day. That’s all i need to know. I can go many miles with up to 30 pounds with little to no pain the next day. When i didn’t use them I definitely noticed the day after.
Weird you did this video at this time. Im literally in the process of making my own poles. I think Timmy broke his lt5 poles at dolly sods. One reason I haven’t bought them yet. ��
Please, no stupid stuff.
Looking forward to your upcoming trip. Around when, unless I missed it? Thanks
✌️
Bryce, I love your content! However, I feel I must tell you that you are using the straps improperly if you put your hand through them the way you did in this video. https://youtu.be/7q2YwOE4okA
Great info, Bryce, but personally, as a photographer, I have no use for them. Tried them once, and sent them back. I’m not in it for the miles. I take it slow and steady, and if I need help, I’ll pick up a stick. I have to keep my hands free.
I think you’re supposed to come up under, and then through the strap, that eliminates that issue while still giving support. ����
Thanks for the tips. Perhaps you could address selecting the right pole length. Many suggest a pole that keeps your elbow at a 90° angle but I notice that your poles appear to be shorter. I’d like to hear your opinion.
In lieu of a tripod have you considered using your trekking polls and a mono pod as an ad hoc tripod? Just a bungee cord to lash them together. It would also give you the option of using just a mono pod for your walking segments
Taking my LT5’s on AT this year but thinking about ordering backups for the inevitable pole break……
Hello Bryce, thank you for sharing your experiences with and comments on trekking poles. I look forward to your next exciting outdoor adventure. All the best to you and your family in the New Year. ��
