I have a couple of questions on determining base weight...1. Do you apply trekking poles towards base weight? 2. Do you apply the hiking clothes that you are wearing while hiking?
Also, I have Black Diamond flick lock aluminum trekking poles. First time I've had poles with flick locks...Is WD-40 good to spray on the flick locks?; if not, what's the best way to keep them in good shape? Thanks...
