I had a carbon fiber hiking stick that I really loved and decided to "mod" it. I got a 1/4-20 bolt and cut the head of it off, then epoxied it into the top of my stick so it sticks out about 3/8". Then I put one of these on top:
I use that as a gun rest and it works great as a monopod. When I remember to bring it, I also have one of those Vortex Uni-Daptors that I can drop my bino's into. I tend not to use it much because I don't like to fuss with the length adjustment on my stick once I get it the way I want it, and glassing standing would sky-line me most of the places I'd actually use it. But it's handy sometimes.
Edit: The link doesn't seem to work for me but when you search Amazon for "V-Yoke Gun Rest" you can find a bunch of options.
