Our Heritage

My name is Luke Clark.

In upstate New York, as a young boy, I helped my father Paul with his livelihood, a firewood business. We hand-cut and hauled logs from the woods back to the farm with just his chainsaw and a Chevy truck, sometimes in a foot of snow …

When my strength failed, he sent me to wait in the truck. I'd watch through the glass as he single-handedly finished loading the truck because we never left without a full load …

The hard work never ceased. Often, as late as nine or ten o'clock, my father worked alone under a field light in the bitter cold to make ends meet for our family. I lay in bed and heard it through the farmhouse window— the distant, rhythmic sound of an 8 lb. steel maul slamming against frozen rounds of wood …

He taught me wood splits cleaner in the bitter cold; and a diligent work ethic kept his blood warm. As a young man, I finally took my place alone in the dark, chopping wood. In the solitude, character and gravity grew in my spirit. I discovered the Lord's grace and strength under that field light …

Conclusion →

I learned discipline, sacrificial love, and how to carry my cross from a father who worked with wood until his blood ran hot in the freezing night. When you hold this hiking staff, you are carrying the legacy of that same unshakeable Tentmaker Spirit.

The "Iron Bamboo" Advantage

STRENGTH OF STEEL, WEIGHT OF A FEATHER: We use "First Cut" bamboo, widely known as Iron Bamboo for its incredible density. It is 3x stronger than wood, providing the structural integrity of a heavy staff at a fraction of the weight.

NATURAL SHOCK ABSORPTION: Unlike carbon fiber which can feel "buzzy" or jarring on rock, Iron Bamboo naturally absorbs the vibration of the trail. This significantly reduces "Trail Fatigue" in your wrists and shoulders during high-mileage days.

THE 1,000-MILE COMPANION: Designed for the long haul. While modern poles can snap or bend, the longitudinal fibers of this bamboo are elastic and resilient, making it a dependable partner for thru-hikers and backpackers.

RUSTIC AUTHENTICITY: The rugged, sun-washed yellow finish isn't just for looks—it’s the natural protective skin of the bamboo, hardened by nature to resist the elements without the need for heavy chemical coats.

Field-Tested Features

ULTRALIGHT PERFORMANCE: Every plain stick is weighted at 1 lb. or less, ensuring that your "swing weight" stays low so you can hike longer with less effort.

COMFORT-FIRST WRIST CRADLE: Features a camouflage paracord strap paired with a soft, 100% leather wrist cradle. This prevents the "digging" sensation of nylon straps during steep climbs.

REINFORCED TRACTION: Each stick is capped with a durable, steel-core rubber tip. It’s built to bite into the trail and stay there, providing a secure anchor on mud, gravel, or slick rock.

PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA: Our woodshop to ensure every "First Cut" piece meets our standards for a premium, rugged hiking tool.
