Trekking poles offer significant benefits for both physical support and energy efficiency, especially on uneven, steep, or extended backcountry hunts. Physically, they reduce strain on your knees and joints by distributing some of the weight and impact across your upper body, particularly useful when descending steep slopes or carrying heavy loads. This joint relief is especially noticeable over long days in rugged terrain. In terms of energy savings, trekking poles help you maintain balance and rhythm, allowing for a more efficient stride.
