The Brazos Walking Stick that we’re giving away is their 55″ Twisted Sassafras.
With its distinct, reddish bark, and its stunning, majestic twist, the Twisted Sassafras Walking Stick is easily one of the more sought-after hiking staffs, a prized possession for ardent hikers and collectors alike.
Each piece of sassafras is meticulously chosen, prepared, cut, and sanded, giving it a distinctive twist. Finally, each stick is sprayed with a protective clear coat lacquer — the result is a smooth finish that magnifies the wood’s innate beauty. The finished staff is a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted walking stick that is both sturdy and attractive.
Note: Contest is open to US Residents only, 18 years of age or older. Employees of WildWashington and/or Mindraven may not participate in this contest. Click here for the Offiicial Rules.
About Brazos Walking Sticks
Brazos Walking Sticks creates handcrafted, made-in-the-USA walking sticks and canes. Our staffs are ideal for anything from hiking to neighborhood strolls. Accessories include compasses, medallions, spike ferrules and more. For personalization, add custom laser engraving. Located in central Texas’ Brazos River Valley, we offer American craftsmanship and superior customer service.
Walking With A Stick
Solid wood walking sticks are a great way to attain extra mobility by offering you a firm-footed “third leg” that’s ideal for virtually any terrain. What’s more, walking with two poles (walking sticks) can provide even more stability and other health-related benefits like upper body exercise and light strength-building. Whether you’re trekking on arduous paths, trails, and other challenging terrain, or simply casually strolling through your neighborhood or local park, a stable walking stick or cane is invaluable.
Walking With a Single Walking Stick
One walking stick will give you much-needed stability in just about any situation. While hiking, a single staff is essential to negotiate loose gravel and dirt, streams, and dense forests. While casually strolling through neighborhoods or parks, a single stick will give you a little extra assurance with each step while relieving stress on joints and muscles.
Fitness Walking/Walking for Health
Using two walking sticks (“fitness poles”) simultaneously is quickly becoming a popular exercise. Two sticks allow you to utilize your entire upper body, doubling the exercise benefit of walking alone.
Hiking Staffs and Trekking Poles
Using two walking sticks on trails can be beneficial. As with casual walking, with two poles, using two sticks or poles provides extra stability and takes pressure off of often-overworked joints. In many cases, two sticks is better than one!
Walking With Walking Sticks
Brazos Walking Sticks are handcrafted, made-in-the-USA walking sticks and designed to be perfect companions for whatever your walking or hiking needs may be. At the most basic level, any of their sticks can simply be picked up, taken on a stroll, and used intuitively.
Now for a more in-depth look: Most of Brazos Walking Sticks are designed to be gripped just below the leather strap, in an area refered to as the “grip area.” The grip area should allow for a positive, stress-relieving angle as your arm, wrist, and hand interact with the stick. For convenience and ease, our walking sticks offer handy leather straps that come standard with each walking stick we make. The leather straps help relieve stress on your hand and help keep your hand on the grip area.

My husband has been using his Brazos walking cane for 4 years since his stroke and would love the walking stick!
I love hiking through the woods and site-seeing. I usually bring along my camera with a monopod. I could alter the walking stick to support my camera when taking a photograph. These Brazos walking canes look beautiful crafted. It would be treasure and a pleasure to own one. I’ll post this giveaway with my school. Thank you.
