I have a few of these in different lengths. They are always with me overlanding (aka car camping) since they work for a multitude of different applications and tasks. With a group I setup a very large silnylon tarp for a communal / cooking space and these give extra height and shape where needed. On solo camps I use the same tarp but as a vestibule on my tipi and these again help to create a nice sheltered entryway to my tent. They're also very well made with excellent construction which is important. They have a handsome finish and can handle the elements thrown at them. I am likely going to acquire one or two more since I keep finding myself looking for another tree or two to tie off or having to stake down diagonally when I'd prefer the height these afford. The shorter one, I think it's 5' length, extends surprisingly far for how nimble it is and small that it can pack down, but the next size up, I think it's 8' length, comes in quite handy it just is a notable size-up even when broken down for storage. Can't go wrong with these poles.
