Anyone else using their monopod for walking stick?

I'm realizing that I'm using my monopod more for a walking stick these days than placing my camera on!

You can also buy a walking stick with a camera screw. :)

My old Manfrotto is a triple threat: monopod, walking stick, and weapon. :nunu:

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive from Hong Kong. Once I get it I will no doubt use it for a walking stick. I was thinking if I got two and chained them together I could have some photographic num chuks... Then I realized I would only hurt myself. :rofl:
