FOREST PILOT 3-pc Detachable Hardwood Walking Stick Pine Handle with Compass (Nature Color, 55 Inches, 1 Piece)

I am ending a 4 month Hiking experience in Scotland, Turkey, Greece, Crete, Malta and Spain. This Walking Stick is GREAT! No Problems at all -except going through Security at Airport :-). My experience with the Walking Stick at Security Checkpoints - better to have it put together and using than in pieces. Simply hand to the TSA Agent for separate screening. Otherwise, TSA, World-Wide, has a tendency to pull it from your bag/backpack and anything with it…..Have used every day of this Adventure and the more I utilize the Walking Stick - the more I like it. Strong-Study and just the right length for the ups/downs of Hiking and all that entails. Had a Carpenter friend re-do the finish of the Stick to make it look like Hickory….. Perfect. On the trail or in Cities - many comments about - What a Beautiful Stick! Just returned from a 5 mile hike. I am duly impressed with this Hiking Stick. Sturdy/strong/lightweight and I was pleasantly surprised with the strength of the leather wrapped grip. When I read the description and looked at the foto before I purchased, I thought to myself - I will be replacing. Nope, just like the Hiking Stick, Quality/strong and well secured. I gave the Stick a 4+ because one of the sections does not sit flush with the connecting piece and is more difficult to screw in/connect. Hmm.... will this impact the durability/strength when I need it most when I Hike the El Camino in Portugal and Spiritual Walks in Scotland in the late Summer? Would I buy again - Yes!

I am very pleased with the quality of this walking stick. I only used 2 of the 3 sections, as I’m looking for a walking stick to use while I walk around town. I am an avid walker in the good weather. Unfortunately in 2023 I was attacked by a loose German Shepherd. She bit me and I needed 8 stitches to close the wound. I have pepper spray, but state law prohibits my carrying anything that could be considered a “weapon”. I’ve searched for a long time for a walking stick that would help me keep my balance on uneven sidewalks and pavement and serve as protection if I ever need it again. This walking stick is substantial, is comfortable in the hand, has a wrist loop, and can be used for hiking as well by adding the third section. The little compass was a nice addition. I know I’m going to feel safer. And I think the price is quite reasonable.

It's not bad for a walking stick but it's not adjustable that's the only problem it's very sturdy well made it helps you get in and out of bed if you need assistance you can pull yourself up off of my sitting position I had a problem with my leg that's why I got it it's good I like it better than a cane

Nice walking stick and no issue at the airport security. That’s a win!

Great value and workmanship. You can omit the center section for young kids and save it for when they get bigger. My 4 year old flipped out when we gave it to him.

It appears to be very well made and sturdy. I bought it for a trip at the end of August so have only taken it out and assembled it one time. It is very sturdy and worked very well here in my home. It went together very nicely and came apart and went back in the carrying case very well. I was very impressed.

I purchased this walking stick as I do not like having both my hands occupied with traditional paired walking/hiking poles. Using this longer stick, or staff, also worked well with my height (I'm 6 foot 2). I recently went on several hikes in the Lake George NY region, one of which was quite challenging with steep ascents and broken terrain. The staff worked well for adding an important third balance point on tough terrain, providing a point for me to use some upper body strength to lighten the load on my legs during steep sections of trail, and most of all served well for probing leaf beds and rock piles for secure footing. The three piece design also allowed for easy storage in the back pocket of my car seat. I did see some reviews questioning the stability/strength of this staff. While I did use it for stabilizing my balance and as a push-off for steep grades, it's clearly not intended for supporting a person's entire body weight. It's a walking/hiking aid, not a piece of gymnastics equipment. Used within its design intent and parameter this staff will provide you with an attractively finished and very convenient addition to your hiking gear.

Very sturdy. The sections screw together and the screws are long and large diameter. Just what I wanted

As a senior, solo hiker with mobility issues, I’ve used a sturdy, hardwood walking stick for years. Sadly, I lost mine recently and decided to replace it with one that I might bring with me while flying. While this item looked acceptable, it has turned out to be surprisingly solid! Looks great, as well. I’m very pleased with it.
