Abstract

A hiking staff with bow attachment for improving balance to avoid injury by ensuring smooth and efficient energy transfer throughout a complete stride forward. The bow attachment comprises a curved member for maintaining continuous high surface area impacts with ground surfaces and contact points for penetrating ground surfaces to help stabilize the curved member during use. A connecting portion removably joins the bow attachment to the lower section of the staff portion. The hiking staff may be adapted for a specialized outdoor use such as rock climbing or mountaineering and indoor versions are useful as walking assistants for the handicapped, injured or elderly. Lastly, tool attachments secure to either end of the staff portion and transform the hiking staff into a multi-tool system.
