I hope this helps.

Before even reading it, thanks. You are very thoughtful And generous in sharing information.
 
Thank you. Nice, short and to the point. Highly recommended to new users and "old" users who have not looked up information on how to use hiking poles.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!

Good job Tom. I’ve been amazed at how few pole users know what to do with them.
 
Thanks for sharing. I don’t use my poles exactly as described in the article but it’s what works for me. Whatever helps is what you can do.
