Just bought my first lightweight tent. Looks like I need to figure out what to get for trekking poles now too
I just scored a really good deal off of ebay on a Tarptent Protrail. Looks like I now need to figure out what to get for trekking poles. I'm guessing I need to stick to the telescoping type, the folding ones don't look like they would work with the tent? Any good deals or decent less expensive ones I should be checking out? I only paid $150 for the tent, it would seem strange to spend more than that on trekking poles to go with it. Also, is there any lightweight trekking poles that can also double as backcountry ski poles? I normally tour with fixed length poles but have been meaning to get some telescoping ones and it would be cool if whatever I get for backpacking could do double duty and be used for skiing.
If anyone has any ones collecting dust that they want to get rid of I'd be interested in that too.
