| The Kingfisher hiking stick lanyard uses no clips, plastic components or dubious injection molded parts. It is expertly tied from a single length of perlon rope and relies entirely on the action of proven mountain climbing knots. The lanyard has 2 degrees of adjustment. The soft but strong cord is wound around the shaft in a bound prusik knot which holds fast to the shaft when the loop is stressed but slides easily when grasped directly. This allows for infinite adjustment (or easy removal if needed) |

| Shown below, the vertical position of the lanyard is easily adjusted to any position - high, low or at any position along the shaft. This is especially convenient when changing the working length of the hiking stick for different terrains. Compare this to the high tech adjustable metal telescoping trekking pole. The solid wooden staff has no mechanical or plastic components to fail and cannot collapse in use like an aluminum trekking pole |

The lanyard opening can also be adjusted to accomodate different grips by widening or narrowing the loop as shown on the left. Shown below are some variations: grip above knot and grip below knot. The prusik knot winding on the shaft and the loop adjustment noose will not slip during any stresses encountered during hiking action. |
