Since the legs won't support walking without a cane and with a cane it's very unstable and dangerous, these might just be the answer to being able to get to the creek.

Whatever it takes. This last snow storm I sat on the tailgate of my truck to shovel the snow behind it. There's no more carrying the dredge up and down the hills. Good thing I had plenty of that when I was younger.

I had to use a set of these a couple of years ago when I fell and hurt my knee. I know they really work well at stabilizing me. So I thought since I really want to do some prospecting I would try these for better mobility in uneven terrain. My thought is; four points on the ground is better than two for stability.

Of course then i had to think of being able to carry stuff like tools and gold pan. Even now, with a cane it makes me essentially one handed, with these I would by "no handed". So, I do have a back pack frame with a shelf on it. I can strap a bucket on the frame and put my tools in it.
