Why should you have a mushroom pole?

Mainly to improve your safety, but also because it will give you more comfort on your outings in the woods. By leaning on the wooden canes, your body is balanced and less force is exerted on your legs and more on your arms. In this way, you keep your back toned. If you want to find the best chanterelles, sable, or trumpets, wooden poles will become your best ally!

How to choose the most suitable wooden pole?

When choosing the wooden pole adapted to your size and that will accompany you on your mushroom outings, it is important that you take into account an essential factor: its manufacture. It is best to buy a handmade wooden walking stick , as you will encourage the craftsmanship of a necessary and frequent item on your mushroom foraging trips.

A chestnut wood walking stick with spike or a gayato walking stick with spike are also an alternative if you will be going into the forest on your mushroom foraging trips. It will give you a better grip on the ground when going uphill and downhill and can serve as a defense against any unforeseen event that may arise along the way.

Another important factor that we must take into account when choosing our wooden cane is the length. We will select it based on our height so that we can move comfortably. The most frequent measures are between 1.10 m and 1.35 m, we can calculate it by placing the arm at 90º, and the height from the floor to the hand will be the most correct length.

In our blog we have an article where we explain you how to choose your wooden cane . We recommend you to read it!
