Thanksgiving 2024 is here and it can be a fantastic day for a walk! Here are a few reasons why:
Fresh Air and Exercise: After indulging in a hearty meal, a walk is a great way to get some light exercise and aid digestion.
Family Time: Walking together can be a wonderful bonding activity with family and friends.
Beautiful Scenery: Late November often showcases crisp autumn weather, with golden leaves and cool temperatures, making for a scenic stroll. Just remember to be careful of wet leaves on the ground!
Gratitude and Reflection: A quiet walk provides a chance to reflect on what you’re thankful for and enjoy a peaceful moment during a busy day.
Just check the weather forecast in your area to make sure it’s suitable, and dress warmly if it’s chilly. Happy Thanksgiving to all and this Thursday, get your walking poles and Let's Get Out There!

You gotta grab a set of these! They are worth every penny. I love how they stabilize my crutches when they are standing alone by themselves. You are also able to hang things on your crutches if you need to. You gotta get some.
Somehow, I missed that I did not need to order extras of these, two of them came on my poles. So I shouldn’t have spent the extra 20 bucks but whatever, now I have backups.
My word these are amazing. Ive tried other poles and never felt as supported or “right sized” as I do with these. The hand support, the grips, and the thumb options all make this a superior pole. Plus the purple is a great color.
The only issue that I have is that it is too easy to lose the flip lock. I tried my best to keep them tightened, but I lost them both. Now, I have to pay to get new ones. I am probably going to put something around the pole to be sure that I don't lose them again. I have used these poles for months now, including two months traveling with two of the weeks doing a lot of walking tours. I was having wrist pain using regular hiking poles. The thumb grip and palm cradle on these poles really helped. Also, the poles collapse down to a size that fits my newer checked luggage (smaller than my old luggage). I have the older version that does not have push buttons to connect the pieces. They have connector inserts that have worked well for me because it made it so easy to take apart and put together quickly which was important when traveling by train. I hope they last a long time.
