Introduction and instructions for Civilian brand Rewind(TM) gear lanyard retractor for flashlights, knives, wallets, phones, and other gear.
Mankind - women also - have used walking and wading staffs since the beginning of time.
It's true. All you have to do is watch Hollywood's interpretation of Old Testament religious stories, and you'll always see someone with a staff.
The reason you'll see people with staffs is for safety and protection.
Probably the most quoted Psalm, the 23rd, plainly states the “shepherd's staff will protect me."
I know after reading that statement, my friends (who are ministers or dedicated church-goers) wish I would spend more time reading the Bible instead of the fly-fishing gospels of Orvis, Cabela's, L.L. Bean, and A River Runs Through It. The aforementioned philosophical thoughts are the end result of a recent article in a fly-fishing magazine that rated equipment. The writers of that article rated various rods, reels, waders, boots, vests, jackets, etc.
What they didn't rate, or even mention, were wading staffs.
Being of a mature age and having taken more than one fall while fly-fishing, I believe a wading staff should be a required piece of equipment like seat belts and airbags.
