Excellent idea! I keep all that stuff in the backpack (in addition to keeping a “to go” bag in the truck with essentials. Always best to be prepared.
It doesn’t make your stick really heavy? We love to hike and I’ve looked into lightweight collapsible sticks.
LOL guess things are relative...
I am 6’3” and 250# so it seems light to me... The kids thought it made them grown-up so they didn’t complain.
Guess the reassurance and heft kind of made you feel invincible. (grin)
Seriously though, the weight on the bottom seemed to make it swing nicely and nobody ever complained...
