Climbing tired? A pair of suitable trekking poles can not only relieve tiredness

Yesterday we made a brief introduction and classification of trekking poles. After a simple understanding, there are actually many problems that will come to our minds.


Why do we use trekking poles? How can we choose trekking poles?

Why use trekking poles?


1 Trekking poles can assist your mountaineering trekking, pushing you forward or upward, not only sharing pressure but also increasing speed.


2 The use of trekking poles can reduce the pressure on the legs, knees, and feet during hiking. This is particularly evident when you go downhill. A report in Sports Medicine in 1999 showed that trekking poles can reduce the pressure on knees by 25%.


3 The trekking poles can open the way for you on foot to scare off animal insects.

4 Provide a strong grip on the ground, especially in soft ground, such as mud roads, sand and rock areas or snow.


5 Trekking poles can help you to maintain balance and make you move faster and more conveniently through rapids, jungles and other places.


6 The trekking pole is your other two legs and can help you detect unknown information that the eye can't judge, such as exploration obstacles, depth of puddle, thickness of snow layer, etc.


7 The trekking pole can also be used as two support rods to hold some of your weight under your backpack when you take a short break.


8 Trekking poles can also be used as poles for tents, which can save the weight of some of the poles. This is especially common in the A accounts.


9 Some trekking poles can also be used as a camera's monopod, making it easy for friends who like photography.


How to choose a trekking pole?

/ Selection of double staff and single staff


The trekking pole itself serves as an additional support point for the body to relieve the pressure on the legs and protect the knee. Use double sticks to be able to do it, always keep yourself having at least three ground support points to gain balance and sharing, and the triangle confirms the most stable.


In addition to using the equipment on a flat ground and light weight equipment, it is not necessary to use a double-stick, and it can be used according to personal habits. If it involves loading or ground instability, the single rod is irrational. Double sticks are a reasonable choice.

/ The strength of hiking


Hiking routes for outdoor activities often determine the intensity of hiking, and then affect the selection of trekking poles. In the case of long distances, weight control for the body is particularly important. Properly pursuing lighter weight can reduce the burden and make the body more comfortable. At this time, carbon fiber trekking poles are the only choice.


Of course, many aluminum alloy folding trekking poles can also play a convenient role in storage, thus providing convenience (Black Diamond folding trekking pole is very light, a pair of only 280g, adjustable length of the pair is only 350g)

However, due to differences in outdoor activities, you have to abandon the lightweight and carry heavy equipment. You need a pair of trekking poles that can balance the pressure of your legs and knees and maintain your balance. Due to the weight of your body, you need to put a greater pressure on the trekking poles, so that the trekking pole's strength requirements will be higher. At this time you will need a lock aluminum trekking pole (leki's lock aluminum trekking pole is very stable).

The weather at the trekking site also influences the choice of trekking poles. If it is rainy or wet and cold, it is best to choose a trekking pole with a cork or foam material.


Lock type selection: When the pole is wet or wet, it will become slippery and slippery, which will make the inner lock not easy to lock; and the cold environment will cause the inconvenience of hand movements, and the rain slippery, resulting in not easy to unlock, resulting in not Necessary trouble.

If you pass through a section of jungle or other areas where there are many branches and roots, you need to use your hands or tools to open or climb to avoid being trapped. The trekking poles should have a good storage performance at this time, folding trekking poles and four. The trekking pole has a good storage function.

/ Choice of stick care


The plastic garden cake-like objects installed near the tip of a trekking pole are generally divided into mud-resisting baskets or snow trays (for snow), and their choice is to be able to hold soft ground (mud, sand, and snow). Get better support and it is difficult to pull the trekking pole and cause it to break.


/ Choice of the number of sections


In theory, the more the number of sections, the more scalable the range. In general, the three trekking poles are the most balanced choice, and they can handle hiking in most of the scenarios. The trekking poles in the four sections focus on the convenience of carrying; the two poles are mostly children's trekking poles.

/ Handle selection


Handle materials have been categorized yesterday. In general, cork>foam material>rubber plastic. And the handle fits best with the size and shape of your hand.


After a long-term use of the palm of the hand, the rubber-plastic handle produces odor and stickiness. Foaming materials can maintain a relatively good friction force after they are wet, but long-term wet or wet conditions will greatly reduce the service life.


Therefore, trekking poles with cork and foam handles are generally good choices for palms that are prone to sweating or for hiking on a rainy day, as these materials are wet and have relatively good friction.

If it is only an ordinary low-altitude mountaineering trekking, there is not much requirement for the straight grip and the T-shaped handle. If it is a difficult long-distance mountaineering and a high-altitude mountaineering, a double-grip straight-grip trekking pole is generally used.


It is worth mentioning that the trekking poles of the T-handle may be relatively easy to use when going downhill.

/ Small Tips


1 The trekking pole can only be used as an auxiliary support. The center of gravity must not be placed on the trekking pole to prevent the trekking pole from breaking and losing balance.

2 The tensile strength between trekking pole sticks is much lower than the compressive strength. Do not use trekking poles to help pull people.

Electric Patient Bed

The Patient Bed is designed according to the patient's treatment needs and bed-ridden living habits, and is designed with family members to accompany it, with multiple nursing functions and operating buttons, and an insulated and safe bed. Patient bed is convenient for medical observation and inspection and operation of family members. It can also be used for healthy people, severely disabled, elderly, urinary incontinence, brain trauma patients in stable or convalescent treatment at home, mainly for practicality.

There are many different types of patient beds. Electric patient beds are the most commonly used and most popular. These are electric patient beds that have buttons on the side rails and these are able to raise and lower the bed to different positions.
