Default A Little Hiking Buddy

You will never hike alone if you carve yourself a little hiking buddy stick topper. Here is mine just in time for the late spring hiking season.

That is very good looking Sir! I really like how you have it positioned on top of the stick, almost with the illusion that it's "floating" there. That's a unique look in positioning that I'm gonna have to study up on. That you for sharing him.

Millard,

great stick. If I was to carve one of these maybe it would help motivate me to do a little more walking. Thanks for sharing.

Safe Carving and God Bless,

Mark
