[at-l] hiking pole questions

[daveh@psknet.com (Dave Hicks)]

As a long time Wanderlust tent user, I advise you check out the length of
the poles and the needs for your particular model tent.

I know of some who had to carry extensions, because the poles they used were
not long enough for their tent.

I have a new 242 and my Leki Ti's are marginal, for it -- that is I need to
extend past the stop to work.  OTOH, they work fine in my Nomad.
