I hiked over Moosilauke in the tail end of a storm with 70 mile gusts. My trekking poles were the only way I was upright enough to move forward.

I used mine to make a hat and mitts for hiking.

If I were to carry on the AT it would be my wrist rocket sling shot. Much lighter than a gun, ammo is every where and quiet to use.
