How to use trekking poles LIKE A PRO! | Plus extra tips and tricks

Watch this before you use trekking poles for best results! I used to be so against using trekking poles until I learned how to use them correctly. While hiking I’d only use one pole for rough terrain, but now I’ve learned how to size and adjust, how to use the wrist straps and loops and when to use them, they help me crush bigger miles with less strain on my body and help me to hike further for longer. Get yer mits on my poles here: Alpine Carbon Cork: Or the Ergo ones here: In this video I’ll explain whether they’re good or not, how to use them on flat ground, uphill and downhill, I’ll show you which ones to buy and why, how to properly use the wrist straps and many more tips and tricks for getting to grips with your trekking poles.
