The ones Tarptent sell. The ultralight one for the Contrail has been fine in all weather so far, but it is bent if the tent is pitched properly. I wish I'd bought the tougher poles for my Stratospire 2. The ultralight ones I got for it flex way too much. I managed to find some heavy fibreglass ones in Queenstown NZ not long after I figured this out.

How do you get on with pitching with minimal places to stick a peg to? I'm cueing up a set of options for a lightweight tent, my problem is in south west WA there is a lot of rock/pea gravel clay stuff which is difficult to get a peg into, so I'm looking into freestanding options (which are heavier).
I feel I'm going to end up having to HTFU and just use my bike/rocks/sacrifice a bent peg or something. Or just get more selective about sites. I was looking into the Hilleberg tents too, pricey, but thoughts on those?

Bit of a dredge...what did you use instead of trekking poles? (assuming you were bikepacking?)
