If you are interested in getting a walking stick, you have a variety of different options. You can get one or two sticks, you can get sticks made with a variety of different metals or types of wood, and there are different types of sticks for different types of walking, hiking and trekking. Another great option is making your own wooden walking stick. Making your own walking stick lets you make the stick in the way you want it and you control how it is made from the very beginning. There are some important things you need to remember when you are making your own stick. You need to make sure the stick is an appropriate height and width, that the wood is durable and sturdy, and that the bottom and the top of the stick are properly aligned.<br />
<span id="more-771"></span><br />
The height of the stick depends on what you want to use it for. If you want a cane like walking stick, you should make sure the stick is about as high as your wrist. If you want to use the stick for hiking, it should be about as high as your shoulder. The diameter of the stick needs to be large enough to support your weight. The overall weight of the stick should be enough to support your weight and light enough for you to carry on long hikes without getting too tired. When you are looking for a stick to make into your walking stick, you should choose strong wood, like mesquite, and you should look for any signs of insect infestation.</p>
<p>Also, the stick should only have a few knots in it, if any, because knots can affect the strength of a stick. If you are planning on making a walking stick, it is incredibly important that you have woodworking, and woodworking safety, knowledge and experience since making a walking stick involves carving, sanding, and finishing. Also, you should make sure you wear thick working gloves when working on the walking stick. There are many different websites and books available that can give you instructions in making a sturdy, good-looking walking stick.</p>

New England Poet Robert Frost wrote, &#8220;The woods are lovely, dark and deep&#8221; in one of his many classic poems, and indeed there&#8217;s something fascinating about the pristine New England wilderness that compels us to wander into the region&#8217;s wondrous forests simply because of how peaceful they are. To many adults looking for a break from the confines of the nine-to-five cubicle, the forest is as alluring as is an arcade to a kid who&#8217;s been in a classroom for too long.<br />
<span id="more-765"></span><br />
With so much New England forestland begging exploration, hiking is one of the favored pastimes for those who visit here in the spring, summer and fall, whether it be on a recreation path, an established hiking trail of off trail.</p>
<p>Of those options, the last can be the most enjoyable and challenging, but also the most dangerous, including for experienced hikers. It&#8217;s off trail hiking that you can get into the serious jam. That&#8217;s especially so, if the weather changes and you&#8217;re off trail in a sudden snowstorm, rain or a thick fog.</p>
<p>This article offers some safety tips culled from personal experience, as well as the hiking trials and tribulations of others, and offers some ways to avoid getting lost, injured or worse. It also includes what you should do if you encounter some forest residents who consider your intrusion unwelcome.</p>
<p>Before you decide to heed the call of the wild, consider ten potential problems that could challenge even the most seasoned hiker.</p>
<p>First. Make sure you know how to use some basic hiking tools. Read and learn before you head off into the thick, dark yonder. Learning the fundamentals will do two major things: 1. Teach you what to look for to enjoy, such as wild flowers, wildlife and the wonder of nature itself; and 2. Warn you about the dangers posed by wild flowers, wildlife and nature.</p>
<p>Second. The potential for getting lost rises in direct proportion to one&#8217;s lack of understanding of the terrain ahead of and behind you. You need to have a fundamental idea about what you&#8217;ll encounter, such as: rivers, streams, cliffs, etc. by looking at a map (preferably a topographical map that shows elevations in the terrain) before you start out.</p>
<p>Third. Make sure you have the right hiking boots, good socks and clothing for your hike. Actually, you should have a good backpack in which you can store a change of clothes in case you fall into a river or get caught in the rain. Staying dry is critical if you get lost and have to rough it until you get found. Wearing shorts on a summer hike is fine, but make sure you use sprays to keep mosquitoes and other insects at bay. Deet works best on mosquitoes, but many folks aren&#8217;t enthusiastic about its use. There are natural alternatives at most sporting goods stores. It&#8217;s particularly important to keep mosquitoes off . They carry a number of encephalitis-type diseases, some of which can be life threatening. Ticks, especially the smaller ones, are well known for carrying Lyme Disease.</p>
<p>Fourth. If you&#8217;re new to an area, in addition to knowing something about the terrain, you&#8217;ll also need to know if you can reverse an unmarked trail if you encounter a situation that could leave you trapped otherwise. The great danger here is that because you&#8217;re off trail, people won&#8217;t know where to look for you. That leaves you exposed, and unless you&#8217;re experienced in the wild, you face dehydration, malnourishment and the elements, any one of which can be a very serious threat. If you&#8217;re going hiking off trail, let someone know, even if it&#8217;s your hotel&#8217;s concierge, and let him or her know approximately when you expect to return. In addition, to find your way back, you can tie short pieces of fabric to trees, but make sure you remove them when you leave.</p>
<p>Fifth. Watch your step when you&#8217;re near a stream or river. Many people, confident that they&#8217;re coordinated enough to stoop down to fill their canteens, sometimes find a riverbank a less-than-reliable foothold and themselves falling in. Wet clothing, especially wet socks, can turn into a very serious problem in the wild. Remember too that, river boulders can be notoriously slippery, especially after rain, so if you jump from one rock to another, look for the driest spot on each rock and aim for it.</p>
<p>Sixth. If you find yourself having to cross a river, remember that in water only one foot deep, a fast current can knock you off balance surprisingly fast, especially if you&#8217;re on mossy rocks at the bottom of the riverbed. Make sure you cross where the current is relatively slow. If you fall, grab onto a boulder, tree or anything solid to prevent being swept downstream where you may wind up in white water. Even though white water is loaded with air, you still can&#8217;t breath in it, and a hydraulic (the point at which water cascades downward like a water fall and churns the water at the bottom of the fall), can trap and pin you under water, unable to either escape or breathe.</p>
<p>Seventh. Hiking near a ravine, cliff or steep mountainside can be a major challenge to many less experienced hikers. Beware of slippery surfaces (moss, sandy soil, loose rocks, dead trees and wet leaves) when you&#8217;re walking near the edge.</p>
<p>Eighth. Wildlife encounters with small critters don&#8217;t present much of a threat unless that cute, furry little beastie is a raccoon or skunk wandering around in the daytime and acting oddly. Both raccoons and skunks are nocturnal, so if they&#8217;re walking around during the day, steer clear. They could have rabies and animals with rabies tend to get very aggressive. Getting sprayed by a skunk is far less of a problem than is being bitten by a rabid one. For encounters with other animals, please see, Animals to Be Aware of when Hiking or Camping, which appears on NewEnglandTimes.Com.</p>
<p>Ninth. You played football, lacrosse, hockey and baseball and you think you&#8217;re in shape, so why worry about a walk through the woods? No big deal, right? Not necessarily. It can be very easy to start the journey convinced that all will go well&#8230;until you encounter something completely unexpected and haven&#8217;t a clue how to deal with it, or that climbing a hill that looked like a snap took much more out of you than you thought it would. You want to enjoy your hike, not get winded by it. When you expend a lot of energy and moisture, you need to replace it, especially water. But beware of brook and river water, which may appear crystal clear. It&#8217;s what the human eye can&#8217;t see that&#8217;s dangerous. It may contain various parasitic protozoa that can make you dreadfully ill. The only way to make brook or river water safe is with iodine (which comes in various forms and can be purchased at most sports stores) or by boiling it.</p>

o Avalanches: An avalanche is a geophysical hazard wherein a large snow (or rock) mass slides down a mountain side. It is one of the major dangers faced by people those who visit snowy mountains. It is best to stay away from edges of cliffs, especially if you are on a snowy mountain.</p>
<p>o Lightning: One of the natural hazards that you may encounter while hiking is lightning. Lightning storms are generally predictable. In fact you can prevent yourself from being trapped in a lightning storm by checking the weather condition before taking a hiking trip. Should you happen to be caught in a lightning storm, make sure you immediately start moving away from the top of a hill, if you are on one.</p>
<p>o Forest fires: If you are engaged in outdoor activities, especially in a forest, then there are chances that you may face the dangers of forest fires. Forest fires are highly destructive. Outdoors are generally highly inflammable with dry grass, leaves, and trees which provide perfect fuel for forest fires. A forest fire is mainly caused due to human error or ignorance. Sometimes in summer forest fires are also caused due to intense heat generated by friction of dry leaves. By taking few precautions like keeping camp fires away from possible fuel source, making sure not to camp under a tree, keeping your camp fire small and under control, you can play your part in preventing forest fires.</p>
