As soon as you said people carry their cane backwards, I could see the reason. I hadn't thought of this before. Thanks.
Thank you for watching! Yes many people mistake this; however, we’re here to help! More tutorials posted every week🎉
I made a mistake with my first walking stick. I was departing a shuttle bus at Gatwick airport and used my suitcase case on wheels as a walking stick. I stand there as the bus pulls away thinking, my walking stick where’s my walking stick. Whoops it’s still on the bus. Lesson learned I now have a cord on my stick with a loop for my hand to pass through so I don’t leave another stick behind.😂
Glad you found a solution!! Yes a suitcase is not a suitable walking stick 😂 We offer a paracord wrap as an accessory when getting a Cane Masters Cane! Great solution to never loose it you are right🎉
@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes you misunderstood the course of events I’m afraid. I entered the bus with a suit case on wheels and a walking stick, I departed the bus accidentally leaving my stick on the bus whilst using my suit as a stick. Now I was stuck with having to use the wheeled case to aid my journey to the very expensive airport shop to purchase a substitute walk stick all be it to short 🤬😱😤😂 had I not used the wheeled case in that manner, I’d still have my walking stick🤕
@paulfrost8952 You, too? Thought I was the only one that did things like that (and don't ya hate when that happens? 🤣🤣 )
@@t24hy44I tend not to do things like that too often now ( 13 yrs later) once bitten twice shy!
Ha! I have had a Cane Master for 10 or 12 years. And have driven all over town to retrieve it from where I was last. Doh! That said, I depend on it for walking, and I consider it my first line of defense.
I wish I saw this video before last weekend. My cane was on my weaker right side. My foot dragged me to the sidewalk and I went to the hospital ER had 11 stitches and 3 wounds. Had to get CT-Scan and over night stay. Rehab is scheduled and a reaction to the iodine contrast now.
Well now I know. My mom in law struck her head on her walker and had a hematoma of the brain and died a week later. 😳
I have arthritis on the sciatic nerves in both hips, along with some balance issues due to a stroke. So I need a cane.
Your tips have changed my way of thinking of a cane as a self defense tool. Thanks for these videos, they may someday save my life.
I'm glad to hear that the tips have been helpful for you! It's not just about providing support; it's about enhancing your quality of life! I'm pleased that the videos provided valuable information for you. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with, feel free to reach out for a free consultation. Wishing you continued strength and good health, Stay safe !
For 10 years I've been using my cane wrong. Not a word from my doctor on what side height or how to use it what so ever. I used to do a lot of hiking off-roading and exploring of mines in Az. After being broadsided on my motorcycle 8 breaks in the left leg and foot alone. I was forced to use a cane but could only walk about 100 yards before the got to much for my arms. And it has really been taken a toll on my body. Thank you. I have more confidence in using my cane again. Will definitely try your method. Have a great day.
We're glad you found our method helpful! It's never too late to learn proper cane techniques. Wishing you strength and mobility on your journey!
I love these videos. Keep making them. I would never have imagined that Cane Masters would be a favourite channel. Haha

How does it work that I was just wondering this week if you were still in business? And, then I see your video. Hang in there C.M!!
You just missed us that much! More videos on the way:)
Thanks,can you do one on straight walking sticks?
YES! Will definitely make a tutorial on that! Thank you for viewing this video:)
Thank you, I use a rattan wood cane as I am coming from an FMA arnis/eskrima background. I have recently got back into doing Tai Chi here in Tacoma, WA and found the teachers have a Tai Chi sword technique that is just as applicable with a cane. Having lots of fun with it.
Sounds great!
Thank you at 82 I find my self a greenhorn.
OMG, That You Mr. Melton. I have loved your media for many years! You're the best!
Thank. you for being a loyal viewer and member of the Cane Masters Community!
Using your cane on your bad side, has been dubbed "The House Syndrome". Due to the fact the actor on the show always used his cane on the side of his bad leg. That's what my friend's therapist told him a couple of years ago.
Wow, we never knew about 'The House Syndrome'! Interesting tidbit about cane use! Thanks for watching this video.
I HAVE to use a cane. I USE my cane for MANY purposes. Opening curtains, turning on and off the lights, even chasing a Bear! 😮 Thank you for thos video. I LEARNED something!
Wow! We're glad you found our video helpful! Canes are versatile tools for independence. Keep exploring and stay amazing! 🐻✨
OK, I don't go along with the idea of using the cane opposite the leg that is weak. If I use it thus then after a very short distance I end up with a leg that screams at me. So I use my cane on the same side as my injury, that way I'm able to help the weak leg by giving it extra support. Your way seems to be taught in PT departments across the land but in my opinion it makes very little sense.
We understand that. Nice to hear other insights, too. Everyone has their own method! Whatever works best for you and provides support is what matters most. We appreciate your time watching our video.
Always excellent instruction, Keith! Have a great 2024!
Thank you very much!! You as well🎉 thank you for viewing, more video tutorials on the way🙌
I didn't know any of this. Thank you. My problem is the back, so days differ and I switch sides where I need support. Standing still is horrible. I hate going down and can't get leverage to get up if there's nothing to "climb".
We're sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with your back. It sounds like you're dealing with some discomfort and inconvenience. Have you considered exploring different ergonomic solutions or perhaps investing in supportive aids that could provide relief and make standing and transitioning easier? It's important to find what works best for your specific needs and comfort. If you need any further assistance or advice about canes, feel free to ask!
That's why Social Security makes some folks required to have a Co-Cane as your co-signer. I wish I had a Co-Cane to help me walk
Id walk to Jesus, this time I'll swear. 🎉

As far as measuring the cane goes, some rubber tips add 1 whole a inch to the total length of the cane.
Important tip: Rubber tips can add almost an inch to cane length measurements! If you need any further assistance from us, you know where to find us. Thanks for watching. 📏
For walking on ice or snow I put a steel spike in the end of the cane to stop slipping. Cheers all.
Wow very creative! Our rubber tip is excellent in all terrains as well, we also offer a copper tip!

At 81, ex boxer, some martial arts skills from long ago. BUT just too tired & slow nowadays for demos , ha. Cane is perfect ! Going to sell my powered para glider, still teaching survival life skils, tipi camp. A bit slower , ha at 11, 000 ft on my snowshoes.

Glad we can help! Thank you for watching ! More tutorials on the way🎉
I’ve knick named my cane Lucas. Yeah it’s Lucas Ma cane.
Love that!
I had to use a cane for more than a year. Your handle is unfamiliar to me. I used a Fritz handle, and with that handle the short end is definitely toward the front. I tried it the other way to compare, and when the hand is forward with the forefinger around the front of the shaft, under the shorter projection, the weight is aligned with the shaft as you correctly state it should be.
One advantage to the Fritz handle which I discovered is that it is comfortable when placed under the armpit. This is important when one's legs are too weak to get up from the floor or ground without an assistive device. A cane alone is sufficient to get to a standing position.
Thank you for sharing your experience with using a cane with the Fritz handle. It's interesting to hear about your preference for the short end being toward the front and the ergonomic advantages it provides. Your insight into the comfort of the that handle under the armpit, particularly in situations where additional support is needed to rise from the floor, is valuable information. It seems like you've found a solution that suits your needs well. If you need any assistance from us, we're here to help.
Great helpful video. My only problem, is what my Drill Sergeant used to say to me, "I CAN'T HEEEAR YOU"! I wear hearing aids and had them turned up all the way. They are fully charged and less than a year old. I also had the volume on the video turned up to the maximum and yet your volume was too low.
I have ulnar impaction syndrome and actually have to have the horn facing the back so that my wrist is cocked forward and my thumb and index fingers are wrapped around the wrist rest.
I cannot put any kind of weight or pressure with my hand facing at a 90° angle from my wrist or it is bone on bone on the lunate.
The only way I can do any push-ups or push off from the ground is to use my fists, not my hands.
It's great that you've found a workaround that suits your condition! Adapting exercises to accommodate your specific needs shows resilience and commitment to maintaining your fitness. Keep up the positive approach to staying active and taking care of your well-being! Thanks for your time watching our videos here. ❣
My weak left leg from childhood never needed help till the "good" leg was partially paralyzed from a blood clot un treated till too late to recover. With two legs weak from knee down, my best side to hold the cane seems to be my strongest (right) hand. My favorite cane has a palm rest. I didn't know it was a palm rest and I'll try using it with the "horn" forward. To whom it may concern, my blood clot resulted from my "good" leg filling with waste muscle material, a normal result from over use. After a day cutting firewood, I had severe weakness and pain, after a week becoming total paralysis. Several (so-called) Doctors only provided pain meds. Anyone experiencing similar is advised to find a Doc who didn't sleep thru the lesson about leg clots and compartment syndrome. Medication to dissolve clots and possible surgery is the ONLY hope of full recovery. After a couple weeks it's too late, muscle deteriorates and paralysis becomes permanent. Worst case is gangrene and loss of the limb so don't take it lightly.
thanks
You are very. welcome!

I use a mousetail wax wood kung fu staff as i need both hands when going up hill. Made a nice sageo wrap for it, special staff from the forest near shaolin monastery. Some good tips for staff users here also. Tanjōjutsu was developed for those mobility challenged of us for jō staff. Bartitsu for cane (as used by Mr Holmes). Sadly I'm not even out of my fifties yet and use a roller at times, sometimes a wheelchair. I stubbornly cling to my staff when possible tho.
Snow +ice cane’s have metal spike wich is removable. Also Leather sling to carry / and around the wrist. It does not fall from you
I used a cane years ago with a hip replacement. Had physical therapy and learned to carry it on the correct side. It was adjusted for me.
Yesterday my right knee popped and fortunately there was someone close enough to grab or I would have fallen.
Your video taught me two new strategies. Thank you ❤
I have always walked with my cane with the horn forward. It’s simply more comfortable and less stress on my arms. People always approach me and tell I am carrying it wrong…
What if your right leg is severely weak and your right arm has above elbow amputation?? Because that's what I have to deal with.
I'm quite damaged lately and need a cane in each hand to walk.
A few times I've dropped one of the canes while trying to open a door, answer my phone... whatever.
This is a bad scenario if there is no kind person around to pick up my cane for me.
Picking something up from the ground is a really long, painful and embarrassing experience.
I'm trying to figure out a good solution that doesn't involve me being leashed to my cane and doesn't look I'm walking around with two trash grabbers.
Just some trick little skyhook type thing attached to four feet of one millimeter dyneema cord that takes up little pocket space.
Just thinking out loud....
I dunno.
Hi there! We suggest you book a schedule for cane consultation through this link: canemasters.com/pages/cane-consultation.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time. It's understandable that dropping a cane can be inconvenient and frustrating, especially when there's no one around to help.Wishing you all the best in finding a solution that works for you.

I love your video's, and some day I will own one of your canes. Although, I would like to see a video of All the types of calm rests, there shapes and sizes ? God Bless.
Thank you for watching and we will work on that video for sure, great idea! We hope you can get a Cane Masters Cane soon!
I recently subscribed. I am 84 and new to a cane. I am not running anywhere and my reaction time with a concealed weapon is probably too slow. A cane looks like a good tool since it does not have to be concealed and can be taken anywhere. Even Kalifornistan. I have been watching your beginners videos and have started classes at a local academy. Looking to learn.
My injury is in my upper back, I use a cane to help take some weight off of my spine when I'm walking.
so much is WRONG HERE the one thing right is what side to use your walking stick.
Mine is a bronze war pick…My grandma was Irish….we trained with blackberry canes bent with her steamer…
Thank you, Master Caine!
You are very welcome! More educational videos coming!
Yes thats why i have an L cane, it naturally points out of my hand.Dont know if i agree on using the other side tho, my leg needs support.
My problem is not left or right side, but rather my lower spine at the base of the spine, the lower vertebrates , so my pain while walking is centered in my lower spinal area, so does it matter which side I carry and use my cane on?
Had a conversation with a retired headmaster many years ago and we got around to discussing canes. He told me that you should always strike with an upstroke, that way you are pretty certain to hit that area where that makes contact with the chair when they sit down. ...............ohhhhhhhhhhhh not that kind of cane. NVM then.
New cane masters? Was rhere an old came masters? What happened to them? Did you usurp their throne? Using a cane?? 😂
No, I’m not going to sleep. I got things to do try to get the house back in order. I woke up a little late like always cause I went to bed very late.
Mtn Mel & Aussie Molly Blue - Deweese, say Hello & a big " Bravo Zulu " to all. Great info.
Thanks for the tip I was using the cane wrong and it is much more comfortable to use forward
Standing still or even walking too slow is very painful for me. I leern f to carry a cane after a car accident when I had no choice of how/whete to hold it.
Hey , Keith ! I'm pushin' 80 , really hard . knee surgery , back , neck , bypass ! And right now fighting a losing battle with
sciatica ! ! ! ! I once had a chance to buy a cane with a concealed dagger like blade . I've wished OFTEN that I'd gotten it
but had not an inkling that I was gonna live THIS LONG ! ! Do you make canes ? I've had a coupl'a "UNCOMFORTABLE"
experiences and would like to have multiple options if it comes , Down to It !!! Any chance you might make something like that ? ? ? ? They'll probably get me but it'll get ugly before I go down !! Any help/advise appreciated . Thank You

Money is not the consideration. The consideration is the quality of the cane and your ability to use it. A pro doesn't complain about how expensive the golf club is. He chooses the finest tool he can. Let's say you spend 500 dollars. You use your cane for ten years. That's 50 bucks a year. that's 12.50 for three months. That's about four bucks a month. One dollar a week to have the best cane in town. Don't sound so expensive now does it? You spend more on coffee ☕. You get what you pay for. I'm going to have to use a cane because of a disability. I'd like to be able to rely on it in case of emergency. Thank you. Be safe 🙏
Thank you for sharing your perspective. We completely understand the importance of quality when it comes to a tool as essential as a cane, especially for individuals with disabilities who rely on it daily. Investing in a high-quality cane that lasts for years not only ensures reliability but also provides peace of mind, particularly in emergency situations. Your analogy with the cost of a golf club is quite fitting - professionals understand the value of investing in the best tools for their needs.

Just discovered your videos. I watched with interest as you describe 3 "mistakes" to avoid. I'm afraid I must throw the BS flag on your reason #2. I have a bad right knee, I carry my cane in my right hand. Why you may ask, because I also have a very serious injury to my left hand. To make onesie fits all comments like "you must Darry the cane in the opposite hand to your impaired leg is, at best, misleading.
Other than that, well done. I'd be interested in seeing more about your self defense canes. Be warned, I may be a bit critical as I was impact weapon certified in a former life. Cheers.

My situation is due to Spinal Muscular Atrophy my left leg is super weak and won't fully extend to hold my weight. However, my right arm is weak and won't support my body so I have to use my left arm. I wear a brace to support my left leg but my right arm is still too weak. Any suggestions how I might get around without wearing myself out or losing my balance?

17th year of neuropathy in my lower legs and I bought a raw stock cane then added my own personal touches to it. Great products.
Thanks for your purchase!
Nope. The cane must be used on the injured side of the leg or hip. Using it on the opposite side of the injury shifts your torso weight over to the injured leg. I had a bad injury to my right leg and the nurse also thought incorrectly and said to use the cane on the left side. Excruciating pain resulted. Shifting to the injured right leg allows your right arm to bear the weight of your torso. I was on a cane for over a year. I absolutely know what I’m talking about. Stop telling folks to use the cane on the “good” side. That makes zero sense. It’s to be used to support your injured side! If both legs are weak then use your strongest arm.
Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. We appreciate your insights on the proper use of a cane, especially based on personal experience. It's crucial for individuals to adapt their cane usage according to their specific injury and circumstances. We'll take your feedback into consideration and ensure that our content reflects the importance of using the cane on the side of the body that needs support.
If your cane has a wrist thong, NEVER use it while walking. If you fall, it can break your wrist!
Absolutely, safety first! It's crucial to heed this advice. Wrist thongs on canes pose serious risks if used while walking. Always prioritize caution to prevent accidents and potential injuries.
Great information. Your canes are superior products. Will pass them down to my children when I’m gone. Still waiting on my third cane.
Wow thank you for the kind words and supporting!!! We really appreciate you for trusting Cane Masters for your journey. We cherish moments like these and love to see the whole family enjoying:) More educational videos coming soon and we will get your third cane to you ASAP!

This is a commercial in disguise as a how to. It’s a stick! Measure to your hight, hold in your hand and touch the ground or floor.
Hi there! Our walking canes are different from regular sticks, they have different sizing guidelines also. You can email us at info@canemasters.com if you need anything.
Noted that you hold the cane on your "good" side, but what if in certain situations, for eg in knee joint problems, where the cane is used to lessen the weight on the "bad" side?
In such cases, adapting cane use is crucial. Consider switching sides or techniques to support the "bad" side effectively. Safety and comfort are key.
Come to think about it, I've seen a lot of people carrying their canes wrong. 😢
We appreciate your observation! It's unfortunate to see many people not utilizing their canes effectively. At Cane Masters, we're dedicated to educating individuals on proper cane techniques and usage to maximize functionality and safety.

I have one of your basic canes. I was wondering if a cane with the horn would cause any problems with authorities?
So far, we don’t get complaint about that.
What "authorities"?
I gotta be honest with you. I've been a fan of the cane masters for a very long time.
But No offense, everybody wants to make a buck. But your prices are really outrageous. Your company's been around a long time. And I'm sure you're doing very well for yourself. There's a lot of people out there. That would enjoy your canes. I gotta be honest with you. It's just a piece of wood.
If you made them a little bit more affordable.
I think people would appreciate you and your company that much more. There's a lot of people that use canes. I'm one of them. I would love to have one of your kinds but like I said. The price range is just a little ridiculous. Just some food for thought there's a very old expression.
When you see someone on the street begging for money and you ignore them. Remember your only one step away from being exactly where they are like. I said a little food for thought. Hope you're having a good day.

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes That was a truly eloquent response. So my only response to this is why don't you just put 1 to 2 canes up on your website that people like myself can afford. Keep your high in products. They're beautiful. I admire them. I understand the craftsmanship and so forth, but how about just making? 2 styles very simple, very plain, but yet effective canes that can be used for self-defense as well. As every day commuting, you so much for replying have a good day.
TY TEACH, REALLY GOOD STUFF !!!
Glad you found it helpful! Keep exploring our cane techniques! 🌟
👍
🥳
My own caveat: If you have a string or strap on your stick, DO NOT wear it around your wrist while walking. Use it to hang the cane while standing at counters or the like. But if you fall with the strap, it could break your wrist! Love the video!
Love you Keith and was planning on ordering one more cane after I’d already purchased 4 from you guys but when you changed the website, prices were hiked 30-50% for every cane. When I emailed to inquire about the huge difference in price overnight, my emails weren’t returned. Sorry, if you don’t value my patronage I’ll just stick with what I have or find somewhere else.

@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes I sent a message but don’t expect to hear back and and very interested to see why everything needed to be marked up on price by 40%
@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes yeah, offering me the same 10% off that everyone else gets isn’t much of a solution to a 40% increase in price but thanks for “trying”. What exact “improvements” at the factory necessitated a 40% price increase? It’s fine, I’ll live with the four canes I’ve already purchased from you. Kudos to you for not deleting my comment so everyone can see what happened.
So now we need instructions on how to use our canes?... Guess there will be 'an app for that' soon?🙄
Gotcha! While we don't have an app just yet, we've got your back with good, old-fashioned step-by-step guides.Thank you for watching our videos. 🚶♂️💡"
All this time I've been holding the cane backwards. Thanks for setting me straight.
Yay! When I use a walking stick, I like to have the handle facing forward just like this. Other people have asked me why, and now I know!
An old Riddle: What walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three in the afternoon?
Ah, the classic riddle! The answer, of course, is "Man." But with our Cane Masters product, you might just find yourself confidently striding through all stages of the day with the support and strength you need, whether it's morning, noon, or afternoon!
EXCELLENT VIDEO-- THANK YOU
Thank you for watching!! More videos on the way :)
A cane designed with a small vertical slot in the handle for an Apple tracking Tag/Air Tag to locate the cane after it disappears would be helpful….
A brilliant idea! Integrating an Apple tracking Tag into a cane's handle could greatly aid in locating it if misplaced. Such innovation enhances accessibility and peace of mind for users.

I believe there are some devices that will alert you on your smart phone if there is more than ~20 feet or so of separation between your phone and the paired tracker. I would go for/pay for this…
Shoulder carry strap for canes?
I need to have a cane with me, but do not need to use it in all situations.
I cannot find any info on how to buy or dyi a carry strap to carry the cane diagonally across my back.
Some people carry rifles and hiking sticks this way. What is the best way to do it?
Thanks!!
We appreciate your interest in our Cane Masters! While our canes don't currently come with a shoulder carry strap, we understand the convenience of having one for situations where you don't need to use the cane constantly.
For a DIY solution, you can consider using a universal shoulder strap typically used for bags or cameras. These straps usually have adjustable lengths and can be attached to the cane with clips or loops. Alternatively, you could explore outdoor gear stores for specialized hiking stick shoulder straps or rifle sling adapters, as you mentioned.
When attaching the strap, ensure it's securely fastened to the cane to prevent any accidents. Experiment with different lengths and positions to find what works best for you in terms of comfort and accessibility.
If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. We're here to help!
@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes Thank you for your suggestions. I will follow your advice
You obviously put a lot of effort into the reply. I hope you have an accessible way of storing this kind of work for future requests.
over priced sticks.
That's the measurement for a hospital cane or city dweller.
If you live in the forest or go off road, you need a longer cane; and you adjust your grip accordingly.
Absolutely, that makes perfect sense! The terrain and environment definitely play a crucial role in determining the appropriate length for a cane. In more rugged or uneven terrain like forests or off-road paths, a longer cane would provide better stability and support. And as you rightly mentioned, adjusting the grip accordingly ensures optimal use and comfort regardless of the setting. Thanks for highlighting this important consideration!
@@CaneMasters-WalkingCanes I bought my first cane from you guys about 19 years ago.
There's no asphalt where I live off grid in the Hawaiian rainforest.
I had time to think about it.
Nobody in my neighborhood besides me has a cane that's long enough.
We have to walk a ways to find level ground and pavement.
I try to explain it to them, but all they know what is what the stupid medical professionals recommend.
I've also read something that says, You should carry the longest cane possible for defense.
I'm 6' tall. I use a 42" cane.
I bought hickory with heart canes from you a few times. Last time I bought three raw stock canes from you and soaked them in pure Tung oil for over a year.
It makes them solid and gives them weight. The last one soaked for over 5 years.
Those were my favorite canes and I was sad to lose the last one.
I read about someone breaking one of your whittled down sword canes in a fight on a bus, and I believe that if I win fight with a wooden sword it could go bad on me in court; so I prefer raw stock.
The only problem I had with your canes is, they all arrived with the hook spread much wider than the cane you used in this video, and the spread keeps growing...
So I've been buying heavy duty oak canes with tourist handles from Fashionable Canes.
I'd rather have hickory and would like to buy a few more canes from you and soak em in oil again.
Can you please help me out with finding raw stock canes with the crooks that are bent like the ones you use?
If you can, I'll start saving up for 3 more of your canes.
I believe at least one person bought a cane from you at my recommendation.
Do something about the volume of your video, its too low.
See if the volume on the video and computer are all the way up!
Great information. I am kind of expecting I will be using one once I get to weight baring on my injured ankle.
I guess I assumed you would carry it on the weak side but it all makes sense.
I will find out this coming Friday what is next.
Thanks!
I'm glad you found the information helpful! Using a brace for your ankle sounds like a wise choice. Typically, it's worn on the stronger side to provide support. Best wishes for your recovery, and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
I have a boot for the fracture and pins in my ankle. This Friday I will find out if it can start putting weight on it.
Been close to 2 months.
This isn't loud enough to listen to on my lap top at full volume.
We are so sorry for any inconvenience. Don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need any further assistance.
