These are sticks I have designed. They enable me to walk unassisted, assuming a “medium” or “good” day. On “good” days, I am able to hike 6+ miles using them. My first pair of this design was made of two pieces joined by a steel rod. I somehow managed to break the steel rod. New sticks, made of a single piece of Osage Orange, the strongest and most flexible wood available. Below is some some information regarding the design of the sticks.
