I hike ten mile treks on the weekends and decided to buy a walking staff to take the load off of my knees while on the trail. This walking stick is beautifully crafted and made extremely well. sasafrass is a little heavy though and this can be a consideration during really long hikes. overall quality is excellent I am sure this stick will last me for years to come1

Sassafras Hiking Staff, complete with rubber tip and leather wrist thong. Just like your Grandfather would have made, each is hand-crafted by woodmen with a character all its own.Profile: We are one of the largest suppliers of hiking and walking sticks in the U.S., and we have been in the stick business since 1985. Best selling of all of our sticks is the rustic Hickory hiking stick, famous for its strength and durability. Whistle Creek makes sticks "like grandpa would have made." These are products that you would be proud to display in your home, yet not hesitate to use on the trail every day. We have avoided going to aluminum poles (lightning rods) or other mass-manufactured techniques. We have stayed with time-tested traditional methods that have been around since before Moses. Each Whistle Creek product is hand crafted from wood in the U.S. by skilled craftsmen who value the importance of a sturdy "friend" on the trail. Whether you use your stick for arduous mountain treks, strolls in the forest or just for "wandering 'round the block," you will soon benefit from the comfort and security that a good walking stick can bring to your outings. Hopefully you will decide to collect all of our sticks for you and your family to use for generations. What Size and Weight? When selecting a staff, it should be at least 6" above your elbow to allow for plenty of staff going down hill. Hickory is our "Man's stick" weight wise because it is heavier and a litt

6 Foot Wax Wood Staff Review

Solidly built, even specifications (i.e. uniform thickness), smooth with basically no chance you'd get splinters even if you regularly use your bare hands on the surface. I use the pole exclusively for stretching, and I find the full 6 feet necessary to to over-the-shoulder exercises holding the pole perpendicular to my height (i.e. not up-and-down but across.) Weight of pole gives it a "solid" feel.

Everlast Freestanding Reflex Bag Review

Everlast Freestanding Reflex Bag

I got this bag for my 9 year old son because he has some coordination issues. I wanted him to work eye hand coordination and get some exercise. He really enjoys working out with this reflex bag.
We filled our base with a 50 lb bag of sand rather than water. I figured that it would end up in the house and I didn't like the idea a flood on wood floors if it leaked. The play sand that we used had to be dried on a tarp to get it to pour into the opening. When it was damp it had to be forced into the opening and it took a long time to get a small quantity of sand inside. Other than that it was very easy to assemble. Everlast provides a hex key and a cheap stamped out wrench to assemble the bag.
It does unscrew slightly form the base as it is struck. This should not be a deal breaker for you, but something you need to be aware of.
Other reviewers have posted negative reviews must be hitting this bag with powerful blows. From my experience a reflex bag is more for speed and reflex training than power blows. If you want to lay into something with power, get a heavy bag. It will suit you much better.
For our use we are very happy with the bag. I think any kid would really enjoy this as a gift. Dad likes it too, and I like that my son getting some exercise rather than sitting in his room playing with his Nintendo DSi.
We got the Everlast 8 ounce Youth gloves to go with this Reflex Bag. I would recommend them as they offer good wrist support and excellent construction.
Everlast Pro Style 8-Ounce Youth Training GlovesUpdate5/26/10: Yesterday one on my son's friend used a bat on the reflex bag. It is not bat proof. It knocked the bag off. I poured Gorilla glue into the hole and on the post and let it dry with the post pointed up for a day. It seems as good as new.
Update 7/3/10 The bag is better than new. Two kids parties and near daily use and the bag is still firmly on the pole. The Gorilla glue has secured this bag with no sign of wiggle. They should manufactur them like this.

City StickSteelManufacture ID: 91STIf you have been looking for a classy walking stick that's just at home at the opera as it is on a stroll through the urban jungle look no further. The City Stick fits in at just about any social situation and is just as functional as it is good looking.

To keep you from slipping on the mean streets and cracked sidewalks each City Stick is capped with a thick rubber ferrule that looks good and gives excellent traction.Specifications: Weight: 20.5 oz.
