    treking poles, pacer poles or just a stick

    I've been reading a lot on this forum about using treking poles, pacer poles on the camino. My question is why not just use a staff/stick to walk with. I do have a pair of Leki treking poles I use when I hike. was thinking of leaving them at home and just finding a decent staff once in Spain...

    butcher along the camino frances

    I'm planning my journey to begin in Sept-Oct. 2010. I am walking with my service dog. While finding food for myself is fairly easy, finding it for my dog may be different.
