How to pack survival gear in a hiking pole
Turn your trekking staff into a mobile emergency kit by utilizing the hollow, modular sections of a tactical walking staff.
You pack survival gear in a hiking pole by unscrewing its modular, hollow aluminum sections to store small items like fishing tackle, fire starters, and screwdrivers inside the shaft. This design allows you to carry essential trail tools without taking up extra space in your backpack.
The modular advantage
Unlike standard telescoping poles that rely on flip-locks, this staff uses screw-together sections. Each segment is hollow, creating a series of storage tubes. You simply unscrew a section, drop your gear inside, and reassemble the staff to keep your tools secure and hidden while you hike.
What to check before you pack
- Ensure the gear fits within the diameter of the hollow aluminum shaft.
- Wrap small items in a cloth or paper to prevent rattling while you walk.
- Verify that all threaded sections are tightened fully to keep the interior dry.
- Check that the rubber tip is secure to maintain stability on rocky terrain.
