Hiking Sticks

Do your girls like the outdoors? Are you planning on doing some hiking in the future? Start now and make your own hiking sticks. I did these with my girls and they had them for years. Each time we took a hike, we wood burned the date on the stick. They held great memories over the years. They can be as simple are as involved as you choose...from using an old broom stick to cutting and drying your own wood. http://walking.about.com/od/hikingandwalkingsticks/a/ucmakestick.htm http://www.backpacking.net/makegear/hiking-staff/index.html http://www.inquiry.net/outdoor/skills/b-p/staff.htm http://ezinearticles.com/?Carved-Hiking-Sticks---Making-Your-Own&id=71689 http://www.todayscacher.com/2005/mar/outdoor.asp http://www.ehow.com/how_2141689_hiking-stick.html
