Excellant Walking and Hiking Stick
The review form asks me to rate how warm this walking stick is.  Warmth?  Really?  I guess Amazon doesn't have a more appropriate rating category.  Moving on...<br /><br />This hickory hiking staff/walking stick is very sturdy and nicely carved to resemble a morel mushroom on the head, as the ad says, and in real life it is quite handsome, arty without being too flashy.  The maker has smoothed and left the natural bumps and ridges to form a better hand grip in the area below the head and added a leather loop to help.  The stick is inexpensive and affordable compared to his fancier products, yet every bit as nice.<br /><br />I bought this after having triple bypass surgery in 2019 to aid my recovery and it's been one of the best things I've done for myself.  Now I'm up to hiking two hours every other day in the county nature reserve and its bike path near my home without pain or impaired breathing.  It's also a major help getting safely up or down, either a sloped trail or just kneeling and rising.  I highly recommend this to anyone in similar straits just as soon as your doctor clears you.  You won't regret; just take it slow and careful at first.
