    If you can’t find some ready made pieces on ebay I’d turn some spigots and they would make perfect centre poles for bigger hot tent mids. Or heavy duty bridge hammock spreader bars!

    Make baseplates with a locating hole and use them as an adjustable extender for a CF tipi pole. Just drill holes at 55mm centres leaving the top and bottom section undrilled

    A tripod camp seat like this:


    but with aluminum, not steel legs. You could just buy the heavy version for $10 at Cabella’s and reuse the stitched seat and that plastic core ring. Or replace each component with UL materials.
