I don't often hike with trekking poles so that is not an option for the Tee Pee.
So I'm in search of a Carbon fiber pole. Most of the ones I find for a typical tent I think might not be stiff enough due to their diameter.
I found a source for a carbon pole which should

I'm now in search of ferrules.
My questions are
Does anyone have a source for ferrules
Is this pole over sized. They offer small ID.
Is this even the right carbon layup for the job.
No weights are listed on the site but I think I can lose 8 ounces over the stock 13 ounce Golite center pole.
Aug 19, 2010 at 6:40 am #1638630We will have an adjustable carbon fiber pole in a few days, they are in route.
4 , 24" sections (including ferrels). It adjusts from 50" to 87 " ft in one inch increments. 9 ounces. No shockcording.
We are updating website today.
Let me know if you need more information.
Aug 19, 2010 at 6:48 am #1638633I only need 69" so can this still be used as adjustable with only 3 sections. Or is the adjustability the sections them self.
I'll be your first customer what is the cost. 5 ounces is not as big a savings as I was hoping but it's a start
Aug 19, 2010 at 7:22 am #1638639You can remove one section if you only need 59" and that will save about 2 ounces. So the saving would be 7 ounces.
It's a strong pole, about the same size as the golite pole or expedition easton with a thicker wall.
Pricing is on the site. If you don't need one section we can reduce it.
