Yay! Glad they’re providing stability and hopefully keeping the knees healthy!

Happy for you they’re working for you. Thought of your fall yesterday when first time ever I saw a helicopter rescue on the hill behind our house. The trails are slick mud and heavily eroded after a second year of torrential rains in California. The helicopter landed on the nearby high school football field for ambulance transfer. Probably a badly broken leg.

We walked 500 miles on the Camino Francés last fall—I would NEVER have attempted it without trekking poles. They are one’s 3rd and 4th feet and provide balance and support every step of the way. Even on level terrain, they relieve the stress on one’s knees and feet, and they also provide a decent upper-body workout. I’m 68; my husband is 70.

You’ll love them too. They’re used by younger walkers in other countries. The US is behind!
