I'll second Bob's comment and recommend one of the Trek-Tech TrekPods: http://www.trek-tech.com/products/trekpods.html
I have a TrekPod II which is the older, heavier design. Like the Benbo that Bob W recommended it has an upside down leg design, thickest section at the bottom, which makes it super rigid even at its tallest extension, 62.5 inches. It's a terrific hiking staff that you can really put a lot of weight into. OTOH I wouldn't like to carry it around town for fear of being accused of brandishing a club because its shortest length is 47 inches. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) On 1 May 2010 15:08, Bob Sullivan <rf.sulli...@gmail.com> wrote: > OMG Larry, > Use it as a walking stick and get on with it. > Next you're gonna want a Batman belt! > Regards, Bob S. > -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
