Alaknak tent Side poles- how to make them collapsible?
I could see an annual Elk Camp with pre made wall tent poles. This is pretty common in places I've been. I've ordered extra side poles from Cabelas to experiment on. Tried JB weld, long nuts and a short section of threaded rod and was not happy.- 2rocky

Alaknak tent Side poles- how to make them collapsible?

Alaknak tent Side poles- how to make them collapsible?
As I prepare my camp for packing in on horseback, I'm evaluating how to make things more packable. One aspect that I am looking to improve is making the side wall poles for my Alaknak 12x12 tent more compact for pack horse travel.

How old is too old to apply for physical hunts?
I know the feeling. My dad was my age when I was a Senior in High School. He did his first out of state elk hunt between age 55 and 57. But he was an active hands on dairyman at that time, still bucking hay and running canyons with dogs and weighed around 170 pounds. Old school, like "Don't...- 2rocky
