Since November 1999, I've been making my own hiking sticks. I harvest them myself, some under spectacular conditions. I keep one per state or province that I visit. If I bring home more than that, the excess must be disposed of. I like to give sticks away, but all my friends have sticks by now. So now I sell them.
