Canes and Canes: An Essential Guide
Before canes and canes they were seen as a sign of wisdom and dignity. In fact, the elders used to canes and canes more regularly compared to the young, and in earlier times, older people were more respected for their wisdom and age. In today’s youth-dominated culture, canes and canes are mostly seen as indicating senility or weakness, though the right cane or cane can add an air of dignity to the waning years.
In my opinion, of all the best varieties of canes and walking sticks are the ornamental ones that are carved from beautiful wood with some heft and weight. With intricate designs etched into them, these mobility tools captivate the eye and tell something of the story of the life lived by the wearer. Although some people like simple, no-frills, and functional canes and canes, I personally think that’s a mistake. Although people will notice a cane, whether elegant or ornamental, on the other hand, a functional one only seems to indicate fragility. Whereas a strong, ornate and captivating one indicates a sense of style and artistry that people will always remember.
Of course, the best canes and walking sticks depend on who is using them. Often times, hikers in the woods use a walking stick to help them traverse arduous stretches of terrain with ease, where they might otherwise slip. Many people, in these circumstances, prefer lightweight, high-tech walking sticks over the more classic wooden tree branch designs, and this is reasonable as the wielder has to walk several miles holding this walking stick. Although it might seem silly in the city, it can be a practical part of being well-prepared in the woods for a day’s hike or a more difficult journey of several weeks. Obviously, they’re also a valuable tool, as an emergency tent hook, or a way to stoke and care for a fire. Unlike at home, the hiker doesn’t have room for a plethora of unnecessary tools like they might carry with them, so a multi-tool stick can come in handy a lot more often than you might think.
Although not many people would wear one of these around town, however if you’re a cross country backpacker it might make some sense. Sure, it’ll get you through the miles, or just as useful as out in the woods, and can even be used for self-defense in an emergency. After all, who knows where you might end up, clearly anything that makes you more prepared in an emergency can’t be a bad idea.
