My Walking Stick — And Why I Chose It

In this video, I share the walking stick I personally carry and explain why I chose this specific one. I’ll talk about the material it’s made from, why that matters to me, and how it performs in real-world conditions — hiking trails, uneven ground, ice, and everyday movement. A walking stick is first and foremost a mobility tool. It helps with balance, posture, rhythm, and awareness when moving through different environments. The stick I use is natural wood, which I prefer for its durability, feel, and traditional simplicity. If you're looking for something similar, I’ve included two solid options below: • Adjustable Beechwood Trekking Pole (Flip-Lock, Leather Strap) A strong, natural beech wood option with adjustable height and a classic feel. https://amzn.to/4cGYcYG • Walk About Stick A lightweight, practical walking stick option suitable for trails and everyday use. https://amzn.to/3ZMK0G7 I’ll also demonstrate the basic way I walk with it and how I naturally hold it. Finally, I’ll show how I would position it to establish a boundary in a self-defense situation, along with one simple movement I would use to stop forward pressure and create space if I had no other choice. As always, the goal is awareness first, distance second, and physical action only as a last resort. Stay steady. Stay aware. (Some of the links above are affiliate links.
