Black Diamond Carbon Distance Z Trekking Poles

[@PhatPat6069]

Hope you guys get some commission for this video. I bought myself a pair of these after watching this video 2 years ago and fell instantly in love. I recommended them to my brother who is doing the AT this year. Thanks for the extra content!

[@UltraDad]

I used this video to explain the art of dead pan comedy to my son. Your delivery is exquisite!

[@mtnmanutah]

best comment ever... "like a good friend, you don't even know they are there until you need them" Truth!

[@billgonehiking191]

It kills me every time you mention old F*@#s and their broad rimmed hats and trekking poles! And now you have added the vented shirt! All three are recent additions or substitutions to my backpacking gear. (heavy sign) I could deal with the ribbing much better if I hadn’t just turned 64! The Beatles song haunts me. What the hell happened, Danny? I was your age a few minutes ago and only slightly less snarky. Now the PCT appeals to me more than peak bagging, and I get my thrills vicious through you. Oh and that helicopter is sick! Anyway, please don’t stop putting a smile on this old face. Awesome vids.

[@scblue01]

Already had the sun hat & the vented shirt, but now have the complete ensemble. Just wish I was middle aged again. Great poles, great tip, thanks.

[@BackcountryCamWA]

Thanks for the extra content this is perfect and gives everyone some insight into gear.

[@robopecha]

[@matt_heinen]

Yes Danny! I'm pumped to see this channel grow! Awesome stuff to come!

[@kappen1000]

Best review I’ve seen on these poles

[@bravegirladventures5311]

"They support me emotionally" LOL!!!

[@fastfingerz1]

I got these last week on based off your reccomendation and I have to say that they're great. Thanks for all of your amazing content Danny!

[@benyyz]

Lol - More reliable than Blake and Christof

[@rickb5946]

Black Diamond equipment is great!. I like their gaiters also. Great channel also. keep up the good work.

[@ReaganPatriot]

Just go a pair Distance Z( aluminum )at the new Black Diamond store in Park City Utah... just checking the package and they weigh 6.5oz each( 13.1 for both) amazing poles👍

[@irunovermountains]

Black Diamond z-poles are great, but once I tried Leki there was no contest whatsoever. Game changer if you have good rhythm

[@bretb8799]

Nice review. Had basic aluminum 19oz poles. Love using them but they're tanks. Got 11oz Dynafit Vertical Pro Pole (like BD Z). Weight difference is shocking and feels like nothing in hand. If 2200 steps/mile and move pole then 2200 * 4oz * 10 miles = 5500 pounds less lifting on 10 mile hike!

[@zettle2345]

Thank you for all you do, and IMO your freaking nuts... haha have a great time out there, and keep doing what your doing Danny.

[@alexanderlp8641]

Excited to see a review channel!

[@seanryan7744]

Wow that's a dreamy gear cave

[@MaprunnerUK]

Any chance we can buy the MA hats?

[@jonelick5887]

I 2nd that!

[@marlinweekley51]

Great poles - one problem: the push buttons get worn and can be very difficult to push in and collapse particularly in cold weather.

[@sammcdaniel1564]

Yes I love my BD Z poles! I got the aluminum for an extra 2 ounces but still worth it

[@seanlyons5512]

Hey! Nice sun hat on the middle aged man!

[@mountfairweather]

Their latest versions suck a big one. They literally fell apart 2 months in after 5 hikes. My old CZ poles lasted 2 years through harsh abuse and thousands of kilometers.

[@Ranar14]

Even though I do love my BD Carbon Distance Z Poles as well, the reason they covered you breaking the pole no question asked is there is a flaw in the design where they are SUPER prone to cracking at that collapsing button. I had the same thing happen to my first set under 25 miles. So if you're ok being down a pole for a few days the first time it cracks, they are great! I'm looking forward to BD fixing this problem since other than that they are great!

[@BrodyHaight]

Sweet review. I’m 5,7. Should I get the 115 or 120. What would you recommend.

[@BigAl1344]

I’m torn between these poles and poles where you can adjust the length. I’m a backpacker and fly a lot to destinations. These seem to be the perfect portability side, but do you think they would do well in a heavy pack setting as opposed to a trail runner?

[@benehrnsten5666]

I love your hat, where can I get one?

[@robertlouis24]

Danny - what length of poles do you use and how tall are you? Love...love...love this channel and your original channel....

[@olirovira]

Following

[@sgriff5692]

I'm curious as well. I went down a size from what BD recommends.

[@spencertaggart4653]

You should do an ice axe and how to use

[@Paramedic772]

Danny, when are your hats going to be sold?

[@justinellison4117]

What’s a good entry level peak to bag for an avid hiker/backpacker that’s never tried any of the peaks...or very few I guess?

[@jacksonhall5725]

Where you located?

[@justinellison4117]

Jackson Hall Salt Lake City

[@sgriff5692]

Mount Olympus

[@terencea2729]

how do you change the metal tip for rubber tip?

[@millerfour2071]

2:55, so true

[@rob060]

Am I weird for being anti-poles?

What about to use them to trail running?

[@dan.b]

What poles do you use for skiing?

[@alexanderlp8641]

By the way, most people call them “bitch sticks”. Clearly they’ve never used them..

[@MostlyThoughtThisThrough]

which ski poles do you use?

[@thuggoe]

people who insult trekking poles are so foolish, why would you not want your upper body helping with climbing and descending?

[@GerdGuchl]

anyone can compare those to the these Salomon s-lab carbon poles?

[@pagewhite61]

HaHaHaHaHa!!
