People think hiking pole/trekking pole use is intuitive – It’s Not!   Most people use poles non-optimally.  This can cause shoulder trouble, hand and wrist fatigue, and less than optimum benefit from the poles (see benefits page).
The amount of mis-use we see was the inspiration for creating this video - now you can learn how to optimize your performance on the trail.

The Video:

- describes the benefits of hiking with poles,
- demystifies the pole buying process,
- describes (in detail) techniques for hiking on varying terrain,
- shows how to use the strap and adjust your base-line length,
- shows how to care for and clean, how to take apart for   traveling,
- discusses accessories like baskets and rubber tips,
- includes hiking, posture and safety tips.
- is endorsed by both LEKI USA and Outdoor Research

The DVD does all that PLUS shows how to learn the techniques! The DVD is menu-driven and about double the education of the video - 1 hour, 13 minutes.
