Review of the Brazos Hitchhiker Walking Sticks

In this review, I use the TALO Freedom Seat with the Brazos Hitchhiker walking sticks in the standard and advanced methods. The walking sticks are beautifully hand-crafted by Philip Lancaster.

Purchased these myself, no kickbacks from Brazos.

The TALO Freedom Seat by Maximum Win LLC is your Ultra-Light, Ultra-Strong, Ultra-Easy-to-Use just about anywhere multi-tool seat accessory for walking sticks and hiking/trekking poles. Gear you can depend on. Quality you can trust.

I receive a lot of questions on how much weight the TALO Freedom Seat supports. There are 3 models for the TALO Freedom Seat. Walker (~5oz), Hiker (~4 oz), Lifetime (~3 oz). Walker and Hiker rated to support up to 300 lbs. Lifetime rated for 400 lbs. Retail pricing starts at $39.95. A discount will be offered for early campaign supporters when the project is launched via crowdfunding soon.

The more I responded to inquiries, the more I gave thought to what type of walking sticks or trekking poles largers users could trust to support their frame. Also, some comments about the position poles between the legs, a single support option may not be desirable for some. It may be tough to understand without trying it, that a simple adjustment (straps/body position) makes the system very comfortable.

It was after comparing the first Hitchhiker I bought with my current walking stick that I realized I could use both to sit on. The strength of these walking sticks far exceed that of any trekking poles I've tested. Fair to say, the walking sticks do not collapse. 

So I purchased a second one and sat on both Brazos Hitchhiker walking sticks for the first time in this video review. 

Brazos Walking Sticks offers a Lifetime warranty on this walking stick. My experience with Brazos is they are a good company offering quality products at a fair price. Let's help keep it that way and be sure to use that warranty justly. They do not promote a walking stick to sit on . . . yet ;-)
