So with new search words - sassafras and whistle, I found yours. After seeing this really cool looking one soon after in CA at a little village up in the mountains, and not knowing how to get it home, I tried to get one from them to surprise him, but they wouldn’t respond to my calls or emails. He was just badly bruised, but I really wanted to get him one after that, but then we couldn’t find them anywhere - not even online.

But we started doing easy rail trails recently and somebody had one and I thought hmm…. That’s a lot to pay for something you’ll never use and where are you going to put it. He couldn’t explain to me why he wanted it (can’t talk very well) and I would always say you have a cane. I always thought it was so random and silly. He had a stroke 12 years ago and whenever we have seen walking sticks in antique shops or other specialty shops here in NY he has wanted one. “I had to tell you personally how much my husband LOVES this stick. We will keep you up to date should there be any change regarding UK distribution.A great smile was brought to my face today when a customer emailed me a huge cane reaction about the Sassafras Hiking Stick. They cost $129 plus the (possibly substantial) cost of postage and shipping. However, since there might be ways around this, especially if you buy them online, we thought they were worth including.

When we got in touch with them they told us that they are still a relatively small start up company so they can only cater to the US market. The problem (and it’s quite a big one) is that Mobilegs are currently not available in the UK. It’s also possible to get a ‘mobiskin’ to cover the shaft with a more distinct design. They look a lot better than many traditional crutches too – certainly a lot sleeker, slimmer and less drab than NHS crutches. Mobilegs are intelligently designed to help the user and really are quite different. They say that since it is so radically different, from traditional crutches, it can’t even be called a crutch but has been named a ‘mobi’. This is supposed to improve mobility, flexibility and comfort for users. Mobilegs have created an interesting new design of crutch, using a ‘saddle’ instead of a the normal cuff at the crutch’s top.
