That's why I love this site because of all the ingenuity and ideas.thank for new ideas
Yeah I got my tent poles from a couple dead tents my father had lying around. I was planning on trying to make a hammock out of the rip stop from the tents but once deconstructed there wasn't really enough. Made a ton of draw string bags instead. Dicks sporting goods sell replacement poles for dome tents. Think they r around 10.
As a wise man once said "If woman don't find you handsome at least they'll find you handy." Hang in there.
Clever idea! I am wondering if the pipes really do much since you have tie outs there. What does it look like without the tie outs on the pipe anchor points on the tarp?

OK...I messed around with the Winter Dream pole mod some more. I didn't like having to use hardware to hold my poles, so I went with clove hitches and I must say I was very impressed. My thinking was that most of the force on the know will be lateral to the poles, and they held really well. I would like to reiterate that I love the pole mod because it not only pulls the fly out but it pulls it UP as well, providing a lot of head and side space in the tarp.
I am amazed at how light the poles are! I plan to cut them into thirds and use couplings. I am also planning a pole pocket in the middle on both sides so that I can do a single interior center pole mod and see how it turns out.
Would also work if you drilled a small hole in the cpvc and then use a nacrabiner out of ZingIt or something like that... Just an idea...
