My tent pole snapped on the Lost Coast Trail last month.
It was the main support, right as the wind picked up near Punta Gorda. I used a section of my trekking pole and some heavy duty tape for a field repair. Anyone have a good source for replacement carbon fiber poles for a 2019 Big Agnes model?

Is that even a big deal? You already fixed it with what you had, which is kind of the whole point of backpacking. I'd just keep using your trekking pole hack.

My buddy's tent pole snapped last year and his duct tape fix lasted the whole trip.

Totally agree, that's the real spirit of making do out there. Honestly most gear fails can be patched with some tape and creativity.
