    Hiking Poles with Angled Grips similar to Pacer Poles?

    Hi: Did you try Black Diamond? They do have a model with angled handles(about 30 degrees). I use them, have cork grips. They are not like the Pacer Poles, but at least is something. Hope this helps your decision. Iván

    Gaiters and safety

    Maybe you can find in a sports shop a spray that would re-apply the water proof capabilities of a tent. You can make these gaiters from an old sweat shirt sleeve. Do the experiment, you (@cascayal) are about to get on raining season and good time for testing. Hope this helps. Iván

    US/EU Outlet Adapter with USB Ports - Any Experience Using?

    Hi JohnRRogers: When you get to Spain, go to a China store, electrodomestic, or a hardware store and ask for “a ladrón”. Literally translated: a thief. 😁🤪. This devise will occupy an electric outlet while giving you additional outlets for you to plug or allow others use the same electrical...

    Video: What's in my Pack? Let the debate begin ...

    Hello All: Here is my two cents worth on safety lights. I managed to find a rechargeable light intended for bicycle used. It has an elastic strap to grip around the bike handle as well a clip to hang on an approximate place. I simply wrap it to my right hand pole (reason is that in U.S.A. we...

    Hiking Pole Modifications

    Hi Paintboy2: I did kind the same with my poles. Added frontal lights to see where I was going and to be noticed by moving vehicles. My motives were more concerned with my safety as, I began walking early in the morning with very low lights at the time. Keep on going!

    Poles don't fit in checked luggage!

    Hi Becky: did you tried to split each pole into two pieces each? Also try to place them making an “X” inside the luggage. I read another post of using a camera tripod case and check as luggage.
