They are also useful for s that have been built across the trail, to part thick Bush es or Grass obscuring the trail, as a support when going uphill or a brake when going downhill, as a balance point when crossing streams or other rough terrain, to feel for obstacles in the path, to test Mud and Puddle s for depth, and as a defense against wild animals.

Also serving this purpose are Walkers , which are held in front of the user and allow them to lean heavily on it.

A "walking stick" may also refer to the Stick Insect , which uses Camouflage to resemble a stick or twig.

Many forms of self-defence are based on the practical use of the walking stick (see Quarterstaff and La Canne ). A walking stick is usually within the boundaries of legal self-defence.
