Walking sticks

[Sciuropterus]

I carry a cane with me when I travel, especially by air.

I use an inexpensive hickory stockyard cane (used for sorting/herding livestock) that I bought at a farm supply store, it is very sturdy and has a large crook that will hook a neck or leg easily. A cane was one of the weapons we had to learn when I tested for my black belt in Kosen Ju-Jitsu, and I also have some Aikido & Filipino martial atrs training that relates well to a cane.

I'm familiar with the Canemasters guy, seems like good stuff that he teaches.

Slightly to one side of the topic-with delayes at airports etc and the lack of seats: I carry when on travels a shooting stick-a great boon to be able to sit during those long waits.

Thanks for the link JerMc. I really like walking sticks and that page has a great selection. I guess I'll use Doc's link if I ever need a stick for beating people up.

James if you fly out of an American airport, don't tell the idiot airport renta cops (now paid with my tax dollars) that your cane is a "shooting stick" they will probabbly sieze the stick and detain you for questioning. Just tell them it is a cane, perhaps their feeble minds can grasp that concept.
