🚨MYTH DEBUNKED 🚨 " I need hiking poles to be a hiker "

Hiking poles are absolutely not a necessary piece of gear and we are going to share the benefits of NOT having poles. Many choose to take them on their hikes because they provide a lot of benefits;

✅ Poles take a lot of strain off your joints while you hike
✅ They can help you maintain balance through various types of tricky terrain.
✅ They can help keep you in balance when you are carrying a heavy pack (or child 👶)
✅ They minimise hand swelling from longer distances.
✅ They help share the load of weight distribution through upper and lower body.

HOWEVER… You do not NEED them to get hiking. Here is a list of benefits of leaving the hiking poles at home, or getting started without them.

🌳If you are hiking to connect with nature, the poles may seem like a barrier between you and the earth. Instead of using the pole to balance when heading downhill, reach out and touch trees, rocks and dirt. It feels somewhat free. Like a big kid again!
🌳Ditching the poles means there is one less thing to deal with. Pop on some shoes, a backpack and water bottle, and hike. Easy.
🌳Train your core and balance by not using poles. That way, when you DO get them, you will have a stronger natural balance already, and you won’t be relying on them.

**Disclaimer**We are by no means saying that you shouldn’t invest in a pair of good quality hiking poles if you are planning on doing it long term, but to get you started, and to get out into nature, you will benefit just as much from nature without them!

One.step.at.a.time. 🥾
It really can be that simple.
Getting started. If you have never stepped foot on a gravel trail before, it’s not too late and it doesn’t require you to head up Bluff Knoll tomorrow in order to achieve an epic experience. Yes, it can be intimidating to get started with anything new. Maybe you don’t have all the ‘gear’, maybe you literally have no idea HOW to do it. Then the self-doubt creeps in. ‘what if’ i can’t keep up? What if I get lost? What if I get injured? Our best piece of advice? Just take one step at at time. Take your time to take in the views, and take one step along the journey to wherever you are going at a time. You will get there eventually, but if you never start, the only guarantee is you will never get there. Give it a try.
