Does Anyone Jump with Hiking Sticks?
Does anyone here jump with hiking sticks? If so, how do you keep them out of the way for the jump. Any particular brands that fold down nice and small that you know work?

I'm talking about those nordic hiking poles that old people use.

These fold up to less than 17" and will fit vertically in the stash bag compartment on an Apex DP if you take the powder baskets off first.

They fit into my wingsuit booty.

I have the same ones and I strap them to my ankles inside my wingsuit legs when I jump. Got the idea from another jumper I saw do the same.

Thanks guys, for some reason the stash bag pocket option didn't even dawn on me. Never use it anyway.
