- LorenPechtel 3y agoSome tents are designed to use your hiking poles in place of some or all of the poles they would normally use. Get double duty out of the mass you carry. If you're going to carry it hundreds or thousands of miles weight becomes very important.
- widforss 3y agoHere's an example. This tent is not in production anymore, but was sold without poles. UL-hiking often involves finding as many uses as possible for as few items as possible. https://hilleberg.com/eng/shelters/rajd/ https://hilleberg.com/eng/shelters/rajd/

- draven 3y agoThat's a tarp, I also use one sometimes (a simple rectangular one.) Lanshans are cheap tents that are pitched with trekking poles: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800228890614.html https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800228890614.html (this is the older generation I think.) A friend of mine has one, they're good.
