FOREST PILOT Handcrafted Nature Wood Hiking Stick 55 Inches Long - with Hand Strap and Rubber Tip Cover - Transparent Waterproof Painting Coating

At this price, consider this stick a good value; bought primarily for a renaissance fair - and also doubted the U.S. made stick I ordered would ship in time. Overall am pleased although this model - made from a tree root in China - has a bit of a crook at the tip. And a sort of pit at the upper end (like a root would). Since I am short, if this should crack at the end, I would just saw off and re-cap. Feels sturdy and the poly varnish is evenly done, seems like a genuine leather cord; and not too heavy. I think I can carry comfortably all day at a fair and it will be useful on the uneven ground. Not an outdoor expert but, the imbedded compass seems lite and, well, cheap; it might work - or not. It's cute tho. (If going into the wilderness I suggest a good reliable compass or two, personally). At some point I will probably leather wrap the carrying end; but not sure it's really needed. And for fairs I will tie on a small leather bag for the "wandering medieval peasant" look. Past the fair will make a good hiking stick and it definitely looks cooler than my extendible pink metal hiking sticks. Expect to get years of use out of this, and think it is attractively rustic. Am about 5'3" so perhaps this is a very slightly long stick for me, but I wanted a longer stick and the length in hand, for me, felt fine.

Bought this for my husband since he enjoys nature walks. Very well made and very sturdy.

My friend and I hiked 1k elevation up a steep mountain trail. We both have bad knees, mines been through 2 surgeries and im still at PT. This stick was sturdy and the perfect height for my 6ft friend. It saved him from tripping a few times and could be used to prop himself up onto a rock. We felt little to no pain the next day despite 8 miles and shakey legs at the end. Not saying the stick will make your pain disappear but my lord, does it give you relief, stability and confidence on rough terrain. Without this stick I dont think he could've made it up the mountain as easily without getting hurt or in tons of pain. I got my own from a different amazon seller so I will post that review where it belongs. Ps great for dog walks, flat trails, and protests. :) can keep you safe or help someone who is hurt.

The hiking stick was the right height 55 inches. Very sturdy, parachute cording wrapped very neatly. Would design beautiful.. only bad thing, where the light design is made up at the very top, I got a splinter. The stick is not completely straight. There is a curve in it. Shipping was fast, sellers were very nice and polite. I would recommend this product. I will buy from them again.

Not sure what all the negative reviews are about. I received my walking stick quickly and undamaged with some brown paper stuffed around it in a box. It was reasonably straight, but again, it is real wood. Yes, the exterior bark has some minor cracks but nothing is peeling off due to the clear coat finish. It is solid wood, not hollow, as you can see from looking at the top of the stick and then again at the bottom after removing the rubber tip. It is light to carry, and at 66, I need light. The paracord is tightly wrapped and the knot sealed with wax but I added a strip of black electrical tape over the top edge to add extra hold. The loop strap was short for my big hand so I replaced it with a leather boot lace. The rubber tip seams ok but I will probably replace with a wider based option for added stability. All my fixes were preference over poor manufacture. Overall, a very nice walking stick.

Perfect size, helps with my balance issues. It is comfortable use and hold on to. Love the design. Great quality. And I use it everywhere, it is functional.

I lost my first stick to circumstances, and this is a great alternative. A bit more flexible, pine or wax wood I'd guess, but fine. Green, so she'll break in with my walking style. A stick is like boots and gloves - gotta work them in.

Beautiful stick Packaged well and delivery was timeful My only regret is that I did not purchase the stick with the compass 😁
