Thanks to its legendary strength, flexibility, and versatility, sticks made from hickory are among our bestselling products. Hickory is a wood of choice for tool handles, drum sticks, clubs—just about anything that needs to be strong. Naturally, hickory makes for a great walking stick!

With the Hickory Backpacker we've taken our venerable Backpacker design and have made it out of hickory. The combination is a proven design coupled with a bestselling wood, a surefire hit! So whether you're planning a rigorous trek across mountainous terrain or a leisurely stroll through lazy neighborhood pathways, the Hickory Backpacker is a stick you can count on to last for years to come.

All of our hickory is meticulously chosen, cut, sanded, and prepared by our own craftsmen. Each piece is finished with a protective clear coat lacquer; the final product is a handcrafted beauty that's as functional as it is ornamental.

The Hickory Backpacker comes in one of four sizes: 41-inches (primarily a “child’s size”), 48-inches, 55-inches, and 58-inches. The staff also comes with a standard rubber ferrule for a firm, secure grip on virtually any surface. For serious hiking the rubber ferrule can be upgraded to a spike ferrule, combination spike, or our top-of-the-line Lee Valley Spike, per your choice. Further customizations include custom laser engraving, a compass, a thermometer, a Texas State Seal, pewter star, and a fashionable Brazos Walking Sticks medallion—just to name a few!

Like all of our finely crafted walking sticks and canes, the Hickory Backpacker Walking Stick is made in the USA by our skilled craftsmen using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods.
