Let's talk terms and conditions for a minute to make sure we're all on the same page!  The first thing that comes to my mind is that you should truly know and understand that our wood walking sticks are not intended to be used as toys, baseball bats, weapons, or anything like that.  They should also not be used for any other purpose except for walking, hiking, or perhaps standing in the corner of your office reminding you of how faithful God has been in your life!

 

Our walking sticks are made of wood and will break if you do not properly care for them or use them in a way they were not intended.  Walking sticks are intended to help provide support, but they are not intended to fully support a significant amount of weight.  For example,  let's say you're out hiking and a boulder rolls down the hill and lands on your backpack.  You will need to pry the boulder off of your backpack for sure, but if you use your walking stick to do that then you will more than likely break your walking stick!  So find something else!

 

If you swing your walking stick up against a tree it will break.  If you use your walking stick to fight off a bear, good luck, but more than likely the stick will be damaged from the scuffle.  Understand that a walking stick will keep a bear socially distant from you for a few seconds, but after that you better have another plan.  Be wise, be prepared, and please only use the walking stick for its intended purposes.
