[at-l] Hiking Poles

[athiker@plantnet.com (Peter H. Fornof)]

I'm not sure if it's a coincidence or not, but the latest issue of "The =
Register" has an interesting article on hiking poles and their impact on =
the trail. The article states that there has not been any definitive =
study on hiking poles' impact on erosion. The authors do recommend LNT =
practices when using poles such as using rubber tips, not using the =
poles in flat sections, and taking the baskets off the poles. The =
article is well-balanced and informative.=20
