HIGH POWER RARE EARTH MAGNET inserted into hiking stick

[1234]

Thinking of inserting a 3/8 by 2inch magnet into hiking staff. I already have a copper pipe around the outer part that hits the ground to keep the end from mushrooming to much. I plan on keeping the tip of the mag about 1/4 inch from the tip and epoxying it in. Hikers are a rare breed and it sure can start a conversation.

Good idea, I lost about 4-5 inches on my stick between Maine and Georgia.

You are both liars.

Im stumped - why - looking for meteorites?

Is that like those quack medicine wrist bands that are supposed to align your chakras or some BS like that? What would a rare earth magnet do that carbide tips do not?

[Spokes]

How much pig iron you reckon that thing's gonna pick up along the way?

Reverse the polarity and it'll pull you to Katahdin.

This reminds me of the picture at Mountain Crossings of the guy who used a piece of 3/4" rebar for his hiking staff. It said he used it for over a 1000 miles. I always wondered if that was when he broke his foot with it.

If he'd put a magnet on the end, it wouldn't have wore 4-5" off the rebarb.

I have a magnet half way up my hiking staff. It's called a "compass".

Crutch tip for your hiking staff is lighter than copper and won't ground you in the case of lightning. It also provides a LOT of traction when you slip!

[Feral Bill]

Around here you'd spend a lot of time clearing big fuzzy tufts of magnetite from the soil off the tip.

I am sure it is to be used for notifying the aliens of his whereabouts while on the trail. Don’t want to miss out on that close encounter…..

You could also dress up like a bear a freak people out.

From my childhood I always imagined if I attach a medium size Helium balloon to the top of my backpack by a short rope and walk, the Balloon will make the backpack lighter. Hypothetically I was right but practically it is just categorized as impractical as this Rare Magnet thing. I have no clue about the OP's logic behind it unless as WOO said he wants to feel the meteorites,,,,

But of Course and to confuse the 1s and 0s transmissions

Electro hiking poles

Well you work, the staff does nothing.... it's unlikely to parts the waters when crossing streams....

If you had magnets attched to a pole in each hand, maybe you'd become a generator.
