[pct-l] Big Agnes Carbon Fiber Tent Poles

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

My new carbon tent poles from  Easton weigh 8.1 ounces compared to the 
aluminum ones at 10.5 ounces.  They  cost me about $40.  I have no idea if it was 
worth it, but I did it  anyway.  If you buy a new 360 view netting Big Agnes 
Seedhouse SL solo  tent, you get the new lighter aluminum poles and rainfly.
 
Just to show you I did not learn my lesson, I might buy the new lighter  
rainfly from Big Agnes for $80 and save about 4 ounces in tent weight.  I  might 
get some of those one gram Nano shelter stakes too.  All I need them  for is on 
rare occasions when I want to stake out the tent a little.
 
This whole ridiculous process  should get my freestanding Big Agnes Seedhouse 
SL tent down to around 2  pounds.  Of course, I could just use a 5 ounce 
tarp, but that would not be  as much fun as my good old tent.
