If I wanted to skip all the crap, I wouldn't buy anything.

Yeah, sure, obviously you've no need, but how's that gonna help Joe?

When I need a wading staff I look around for a nice stout
stick,

And If he were you, that's exactly what he could do, too...

use it for the day then leave it next to the path
for the next guy.

Well, whaddayaknow...

I would have bet big you just stuck it back up your ass...

IAC, if a folding staff isn't necessary, a replaced ski pole makes a
good staff, and if you don't ski, they can be had for little or nothing
at charity shops all over N. America and lots of Europe. And a length
of heavy-walled PVC with a glued cap on one end and threaded cap on the
other makes a combo rod protector/staff.

Well, that's a new one on me. You store your ski poles and
wading staffs up your arse ? Hmmmm...

Not that there's anything wrong with that !!
