For myself I definitely require hiking poles, I have been back country hiking for approx 30 years and understand my body and it’s limitations, especially for distance walking.
I would not throw them away if they could not to be recycled. However if I end up buying something that is a bit more than 4.99 E and that I might want to keep I would most likely as you suggested check them with my pack on the way home.
Thank you for the advice. We will most likely end up discarding them as will not be checking our bags on the return home. It is nice to know that they can be recycled.
Thank you. I will definitely try it out this summer before I do my Camino walk. I have mainly used it on winter snowshoeing treks. I agree accessing the back panel is a bit annoying. However it is a comfortable pack for me. I was just not sure how it would fare for summer use.
I am planning on walking the Portuguese Costal Camino next September from Baiona to Santiago De Compostela. I have a 32L pack. My concern is that it is a winter pack. I.E. no breathable mesh on the back. Any thoughts on this. Is it doable or should I be looking for a summer pack?
