See, I have to go outside for my sticks and branches.

But you've stumbled into my point out of belligerence; neither of those are "trekking poles" which are dressed up cross country skiing poles that'd cost you $20 - $300 to discover it's shit and apparently embed itself into your organs.

A boyscout could teach you how to find a fucking decent branch for free.

Since you absolutely must argue this shit(?), I personally feel big box outdoor outfitter camping stores are the culprit in this, and I don't think any cleanliness was provided to the perforation endured to justify the likelihood of just such an event or extra cost.
