rockchucker22 member Registered: 09/24/12 Posts: 749 Loc: Eastern Sierras	Made some UL carbon fiber trekking pole and an adapter to use as a pyramid pole. Handles are from Gossemer Gear, tips are standard Leki/Black diamond type, the poles are golf club blanks ordered online. The adapter is a simple piece of 550 cord and a couple of Velcro ties for electrical cords. Very strong and holds a tremendous amount on downward pressure. _________________________ The wind wont howl if the wind don't break.

You know you can make it lighter by using another cord, other than 550. i debated using some of the reflective trip line for tarps, I have extra of that and it's pretty light, although for slightly over 6 oz the way it is, isn't too bad for 2 poles and extras. _________________________ The wind wont howl if the wind don't break.
