velocity-when you use the metal trek poles, how tall is your preference(withrespect to your height? shoulder , chest, eye ?

Buy more titanium stuff. Glad to hear that we like titanium, yessir, more stuff needs to be made of titaanium.
also, if you anneal Ti in a tube furnace, or in a kiln, it gets all funky blues and purples, very irridescent.

no, most of my exploration work is for Titanium ores, rutile and ilmenite

As far as I know about finished stock Ti is just a bit more expensive than tube copper .i did a quick look up for 0.038 stock at 1/2 inch id. its about 2.50 a foot.
If you want to make your own walking sticks, id look up
t itanium Industries
IQs
rMI
Cabot Industries
Perryman Inc
titanium metals Corp (TIMET)
Im sure that most of these have product web sites. I dont endorse any single compaany but these are pretty much all Canadian and US outfits
