A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!

Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.

Found this post on IG and I'm wondering what this community's stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it's a valid question.

Is there no flotsam from elsewhere washed ashore in Antartica?

But independent of that, I think that's an awesome ice stick!

I now need to know whether there is flotsam in Antarctica

I just learned that flotsam (and jetsam and lagan) are specific terms with specific meanings.

IDK if sticks that fall out of trees really belong to any, I think maybe that would just be floating debris.

Something man made has to be either flotsam (from a sunken wreck) or jetsam (intentionally discarded) but a stick that fell from a tree is neither of those.

Thank you! I now need to know whether there is floating debris in Antarctica
