Get some walking sticks. Helps in that country. Or a horse. Good luck.

They are called trekking poles and I have them, along with Osteoarthritis in both Knees and Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot. Isn't it great getting old. 

Love my trekking poles.  Too many years jumping out of airplanes I guess...

I have never used trekking poles, but have been considering their use, as my knees have been bothering me the last couple of years.  Does using them predominantly take some load off the knees?

down hill, yes it definitely takes the load off the knees and sometimes the low back depending on angles, terrain, etc.

More importantly when you are hiking and not hunting, the poles take the load off of some of the leg muscle groups by spreading out the load into the arms and shoulders.  better stability, less effort to maintain stability, and more power.  It will make you faster, and give you more long term endurance.

Trecking poles definitely will take away a lot of the pain

New Boots for this Hunt After trying on several boots in Colville, Spokane and Cabela's, I settled on the Cabela's Meindl Alaska Hunter. So far they feel good walking around the store and at home in the house. I'm giving them an indoor test run before I oil them up and head out for the break in period. BTW, KENETREK Came in second for me, I was going to pull the pin on them until I tried on the Meindl's.

Love my Miendls! Very comfy and didn't need a break in period
