I have a Henry's Contrail Tarp Tent that requires the use of an adjustable treaking pole for the front pole set up. This was no problem until I recently purchased a pair of BPL treaking Stix's (highly recomended…)that are a fixed length and about 8 inches or so too long for the Contrial. A few things I've tried but aren't optimal: 1) Dig a hole to lower the pole accordingly…it puts a buch of fresh dirt at your tent entrance, is never quite the right place or depth and I don't like disturing the ground any more than neccessary. 2) Find a stick of correct length…you know how finding the right length, straight, not rotten sick can take??Any "MacGyver's" out there that have some other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
