I was once a pole snob but two ladies in our guesthouse lent us their poles for a day hike and I have to say, they made quite a difference in terms of stability (I'm now a pole convert). I know what you mean about people laughing about how seriously we take going into the wilderness. In Canada, taking the right precautions can mean the difference between life and death. Some friends from other countries (especially from European countries) don't face the same risks so they tend to think we're overly cautious. Hope you're enjoying Switzerland!Sarah M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646612.post-36272955207868859092012-10-07T11:07:25.040-07:002012-10-07T11:07:25.040-07:00Hey Sarah,

That being said, I find Switzerland much less crowded than hiking in Germany was. (and with a lot less hikers with poles. poles without a big pack?!?!?) People laugh at me when I tell them that hiking in Canada meant telling people where you were going, losing cell phone service and putting a bear bell on the dog. Hope you enjoyed Swiss land, so much to discover here!Katherine Correiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08819987180978122694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8646612.post-24016034322648213032012-09-23T22:36:49.098-07:002012-09-23T22:36:49.098-07:00If you can go, go!
