Faaaack. I'm so bummed. My walking stick with the knife holder arrived today. The walking stick is too short for me. Like, way too short. My 5'3" wife is the right size. Such a downer. I guess I should have read the description better.
Problem is I had bought one of these before for my friend for Xmas last year (we do a secret Santa thing in my group). He, too, has a healthy respect for bears and his job takes him out into the woods, so he likes having it. Well, when we were all playing with it and tossing empties in the air to stab them a la indoor clay shooting but with a spear, I thought it was perfect. I guess I didn't try walking around with it as a walking stick, though. Just assumed it'd be perfect.
Now I'm out $124 or whatever it was for a too-short walking stick. Ugh.
I might put some feathers or something on it as a show of respect for indigenous communities and hang it up in my garage.
