  • @CreamPie9uy Your mom loves my pole too much.

  • be sure to watch the whole expert idiot series...how to shit in the woods is best...

  • did he saus hes gonna teach us how to use DILDOS???

  • First of all, Poseidon holds a Trident. Secondly, if you don't like poles, don't use them. If you do like poles, use them. You guys are both idiots! Third, credentials mean nothing. Hiking is a unique and individual experience that will be tailored to each individual differently from others. Give the presenter a break He did a good job presenting his view on poles Personally I prefer to use one pole myself. If not a store bought trekking pole then a staff made of wood found on the trail.

  • I like one pole on the outside edge. It keeps my rhythm going up and has saved my rear more than once on a descent, invaluable on a narrow, steep, debris strewn trail.

  • poles are stupid

  • It has to do with the fact that you say you must be unfit to use trekking poles, idiot.

    Dating? What a crazy you must be.

    They are not unnecessary, it all depends on the terrain.

    Good for you and your weights. Tissue and lotion while using them I assume?

  • No I'm not wrong. Read what I said again and I challenge you to find a single incorrect statement. I didn't claim they had no benefit whatsoever, I just said they were unnecessary. I've done my share of hiking too but I don't see what cycling and rock climbing has to do with anything? This is a youtube comments section not a date, I don't want to know about your other credentials. Oh and I DO believe in weights.

  • And you would be wrong. I use poles on difficult terrain. I mountain/road bike 50-70 miles a week, indoor rock climb, and do daily body weight exercises ( I don't believe in weights), not to mention go on long hikes and overnight trips.

    You're wrong, poles have their place.
