[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 834605, member: 31995"] Probably because in daily life I'm generally not walking 20 or so kilometers a day with a loaded backpack, often up and down steep hills. If I'm walking 20 km at home, believe me, I'm taking my poles. I didn't think they would be essential on my 2016 camino. I didn't take them with me and strongly resisted buying them when I got there. My knees paid the price for that. I couldn't have completed the Camino without them. (I know. I tried. I had the knee brace and, after that, a stout staff. It still wasn't enough. It wasn't until I got the poles in Viana that my knee issues started to level off and the pain remained at a sustainable level.) I continued to need the knee brace, the poles and the ibuprofen through the rest of the Camino. (Later on, I tried going without them, too. I tended to know better by the first rest stop of the day.) Yet I go though my daily life now without knee braces and ibuprofen. Surprisingly, the amount and type of walking that most of us do in our daily life off the camino is not the same as we do on the camino. Who'da thunk it? [/QUOTE]
