Six Moon Designs‘ ultralight carbon fiber pole from the American company is stronger than aluminum poles and also weighs less. This new 5-section version is even smaller and easier to store.
When to Use It
Many ultralight tarps and tents do not come with poles for setup. Instead, they use your trekking poles to pitch them, eliminating an item from your backpack. Less weight, less volume.
Therefore, poles are an alternative for hikers who do not use trekking poles but need something very light to pitch their shelter. Use it for SMD shelters.
Design
The ultralight carbon fiber pole from Six Moon Designs folds into 5 sections of 38cm. It won’t stick out above your backpack and snag on tree branches. You can strap it to the side or simply store it inside your pack.
It is between 40% and 60% lighter than conventional poles. This is often overlooked as a way to reduce pack weight. However, it can have a significant impact if you use it. Therefore, consider it as one of the final steps to ‘shaving grams’ from your pack.
How to Set It Up
When pitching your shelter, first tension it with the stakes until the pole begins to create a slight curve. Then, loosen it until the pole is fully vertical. This will be sufficient tension to keep your shelter stable, even in strong winds.
