I am pleased to recommend a trekking stick which I used when I went for the trekking trip at Pine Tree Trail on 29 September 2007. It was good. Trekking stick is vital to maintain balance and when going downhill that would ease the body weight on the knees. With the unusual design, one of the trekkers gave this trekking stick a unique name: blink man stick.
Good feature
Lightweight and well built – good for serious trekking
Retractable - It has three segments with locking and releasing mechanism
Anti-shock – The shock absorbing capability is useful so that it absorbs the vibration when the stick impacts with hard ground
Built-in LCD Torchlight - One of the most ingenious designs by the Chinese is the seamless attachment of a LCD torchlight at the handle. The white light from the LCD torchlight is very bright. In trekking, torchlight is an essential item to bring.

About Torchlight
When I was new in trekking, I could not understand why we need to bring torchlight since it is daytime and the sky is bright. It was during one trekking trip to Gunung Irau, Cameron Highland, a few years ago that I appreciate the importance of torchlight. In that trekking trip, we were still stuck in the jungle when the sun went down. It was pitch black in the jungle. I could not even see my fingers a few inches away. Luckily, we managed to find our way and return to civilisation with the help of torchlight.
Do you know that the headlamp of a motorbike is more effective in illuminating the road than the headlamp of a car? This is because the beam of light follows the turning direction. In this case, the beam of light will always point at the path where you heading.
