Walking Sticks

I remember when I was little and my family would go on day hikes and my dad always had this walking stick that he took with him. My brother and I always wanted to be the ones holding the walking stick and we would fight over it because we thought it was so cool. And it was. It had footprints of different animals on it and we always wanted to try and find those footprints on our hike, although it rarely happened because we were way too loud. The point is, walking sticks can create great stories and help you remember those fun times in the woods with your family. There are different kinds of walking sticks, including actual canes, or sticks that look like you may have just picked it off the forest floor. There are others that have more design to them, including one with leaves on it, and one with a unique bend in it. Whether you are an avid hiker, or just like to go for strolls through the neighborhood, walking sticks make great company.
