I was reading the posts, and realized how utilitarian I found my poles for more than just extra "feet"-- I have strung rope between them to dry my socks by the fire. I have hung my boots off of them for the same reason (one does not want baked boots, only baked beans :)), used one as a tent peg when I left one behind, and I love to lean one against the tent poles so I can lean my pack against the hiking pole so the pack stands up under the vestibule. I have even "staked" my dog down on leash until I had a rope run strung. So, I suppose my poles are my favorite gear.
