Inexpensive adjustable lightweight tent pole

[dog812]

Recently I picked up a seek outside lbo, vestibule and trekking pole extender.
I wanted a dedicated pole for times I need my trekking pole or if I use the tent camping or whatever.
I found the msr adjustable 5 ft pole was the right price. 9.8 oz. $40 CDN..
But it's a little short 62". Surprisingly if you cut the little spoke off the end. It's the right diameter to fit inside the trekking pole adapter.

REI has a pole that is 8 1/2 feet tall or so

Yah that 8' pole is 27oz. No thanks.

The 6' pole they have would work at 13oz. But we don't have rei in Canada, it was easier to just go to mec. Lighter and cheaper.

The 60" to 79" is only 13 oz.

I haven't got it yet, but I just ordered the My Trail Company pole, which I think is 11oz
