Re: Emergency tent pole replacement!

The better camping equipment stores now have replacement fiberglass rod
kits with the metal sleeve already attached. You do need to know the size
of the rod. I got a kit from Gander Mountain for 3/8 rods, which worked
perfectly. You can cut down the rod with a hacksaw, going around the rod
with it carefully. The kit usually includes shock cord as well, in case
you need that too. I found I need also a 7/16 rod for another tent, so I
am off to get a kit for that. Check with either local or mail order
caming goods stores. The kits seem to be generic.
