I use short sections of inner tube (for road bicycle tires) to insure that my "tree straps" can't slip on the metal ridgepole of a "turtlelady" stand. If you don't have an old tube laying around, a bicycle shop should have a trash can full or even buy one for a lifetime supply for this sort of use. The small diameter should just fit to slip on your poles.
Be sure to clean the talc out of the inside of the sections you use.
