[pct-l] New Tent Poles

[Randy Forsland]

Another great source of replacement poles is fibraplex. I ordered a set for 
my Ultralite CD tent and shaved a good deal of weight off of the system. 
They also have a pretty good warranty. I broke one of the poles on my 2003 
PCT hike and they sent a replacement to kennedy meadows at no cost. And the 
reason that it broke was my fault...I stepped on it in the dark.
