Desert Sun Shade Canopy Walking Stick Bamboo Wire Cloth Emergency Medical Response Leisure

The wind is so strong out here it's almost impossible to have any kind of permanent shade cloth installation that doesn't get torn to pieces within a few months. This year I decided to experiment with mitigating the shade problem by creating a monster of a sun shade umbrella. I fastened together several different bamboo poles to make a post with a "plus" pattern at the top. I then ran wire through those top poles to create a kind of web of wire. This provided a minimum amount of support to drop a canvas shade cloth over so I'd have sun shade umbrella that would work as shade providing walking stick. Having built this ahead of the summer, it will be put to the test in a couple of months when I'll be relying on it every day do many chores when the sun is out. I've been hiding from the sun too much and it takes a toll on morale to have your of mobility limited so much. I certainly won't be doing any extraneous activities in the sun with this bamboo sun shade walking stick, but when I need to get things done in the sun, or if there are medical emergencies to attend to, I'm hoping this will be the basis for success.
