Packing Tips for Kili – How to Use Hiking Poles


Packing Tips for Kili – How to Use Hiking Poles


By Kathleen Lisson

Larry Garber's third video in his four part series on packing for Mt. Kilimanjaro offers a cheap tip for keeping dry in wet weather while hiking up Mt. Kilimanjaro - a poncho. Garber also covers what type of sunglasses and other sun protection needs during the trek. 

The best part of this video for me was the explanation of how to use hiking poles - how to use the straps, how to tell which pole is for the left and right hand, and how to use the hiking poles to descend.
