To combine a trekking pole and a backpack to form a support system, follow these steps:
-
Collapse the poles to a manageable length.
-
Locate the pole attachment loops on your backpack, usually on the sides or shoulder straps.
-
Slide the pole tip through the bottom loop and secure the handle end by pulling the elastic loop on top.
-
Use side pockets and compression straps if your backpack lacks dedicated loops, by sliding the pole handles down into the pocket and securing them with compression straps.
