Hiking & survival staff

Abstract

A hiking staff having one or more hollow interiors shaped to support a user's body weight when hiking. Survival gear, such as first aid supplies, a tent, and/or provisions for defense or food gathering needs, can be stored within the hollow interiors of the hiking staff. End caps enclosing the open ends of the hiking staff can be selectively removed to access the survival gear. A knife can be coupled with an end of the hiking staff for storage and/or use of the hiking staff as a spear.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A hiking staff comprising:
 an upper staff section surrounding a first hollow interior;   a lower staff section surrounding a second hollow interior, said lower staff section being selectively coupled with said upper staff section;   an upper end cap removably coupled with an upper open end of said upper staff section; and   a lower end cap removably coupled with a lower open end of said lower staff section.
