Walking or hiking with a single walking stick, hiking staff or pole can give you an extra point of stability. Many people like the convenience of a folding walking stick or collapsible walking stick. Features to look for include grip comfort, weight, adjustable height, folding for storage, camera mount, and options for the tips. Or, you may prefer a classic wooden stick.
