 A '''walking stick''' (staff) can be made of many different materials and styles. You can by ones made of wood, aluminum, steel, and even titanium alloy.  Choosing a staff is determined by how you are going to use it and, also, your own personal preference of style.
-A wood walking stick is usually made of a durable hardwood such as oak and can be customized with wood-burning techniques, leather handle wraps, and other creative customization.  These can be found at craft shows or flea markets, or custom-made by your local artisian or wood-worker; some people choose to just pick up a suitable stick near the trailhead and discard it at the end of their hike. When hiking in beaver-populated areas, beaver sticks often provide a good, sturdy staff (but be careful of their pointed ends).

 a.)  The size of the grip.  Can you fit your hand around it comfortably?

 d.)  Purpose.  Will you be using it just to poke around in a rotted tree trunk once in a while or do you rely on it every step of the way while you are hiking.
