Hiking the JMT: Bad Blood at Devils Postpile - 6 of 17

[Somethinzfishy]

Wanted to ask do you think those hiking poles really were a " for sure " needed item as in your glad you didn't leave home without them ?? or could you have done as well without them ? I was just wondering if because of heavy load - pack weight you thought they added some security...balance wise ???

Thx and fantastic job on the videos !

I think they are totally worth it. I was going to hike without them and Smelly convinced me to buy a pair. They really help and make the hike more enjoyable and take a little weight off the knees.
