[at-l] Hiking sticks/staffs/poles, etc. Are they worth it?

Can't say I could, but I am still upset that I left my homemade staff on the 
side of the trail in PA after a short potty break this spring.  I wish I had 
put my name on it.  I took that staff on my first ever overnight backpacking 
trip on the Batona Trail in NJ and my first official steps on the AT 
beginning in Penmar MD.  I cut it from a tree in my own yard and to this day 
can show you the cut I made.
