Why Don't More People Use Walking Sticks?

In the past a walking stick was a part of a typical guy’s attire along with a good hat. Today lot’s of people still use a hat, but the walking stick isn’t as popular as it once was.

The walking stick or cane was used for support as well as defense from animals or robbers. Today lot’s of people who like to walk will purchase a walking stick from me (Kentucky Walking Stick) for protection from dogs.

My dad was walking a few years ago, when a large dog came out of a neighbor’s yard and tried to bite him. Well, a couple of well placed wacks with his walking stick solved that problem. I’m sure if someone had tried to rob him as he walked, a couple of well placed wackes on the robber’s head would have had the same effect.

I always use my walking stick while walking.

the walking sticks most hikers use is technologically different from those you apparently carry, Randy.
But I expect you know that.
There are a number of Kingmanites who use walking sticks when they’re out and about. And they are out and about a lot. I think we have the oldest population for a burg this size in the state. A walking stick maker could make a little money here until we died off, willing our sticks to our kids, or morticians or whoever.
