I know about using hiking poles to pitch a tarp...

However I dont have any nor do I see in the future acquiring any, unless its to use to pitch a tarp.

Ive thought about making some different lengths out of wood...think broom handle with a notch cut in the end to keep the line...

Would like to see what others think or are using...think outside the box...Like an adjustable painters stick for rollers and tall walls...
