    Does this need to be bonded?

    By standing on the soil you'd probably be wearing shoes that provide some level of insulation. Touching a metal pole with bare skin will give a lower impedance to earth. Also it would be a case of resistors in parallel so the two paths combined would give a reduced total impedance to earth.
