PLANS for ALASKA trip in 2015

[Ansimp]

We get aluminium tent/awning poles that telescope inside each other and have a twist lock mechanisim. We have removed the end caps and cut them to custom length.

there are extension poles for paint rollers too but they might not be quite strong enough in the twist lock.

I have a 32 inch (plywood) wide to hold where my torso will be. So the weight to be held on the two poles will be 200lbs. Plus my junk that gets pitched to the bottom of the tent.

Do you believe these might work?

They look a bit more flimsy than the ones I showed you, may need 3 or 4 if you are not happy with the support. We have used this style to center support large annex/room in heavy duty canvas.

Turns out the Amish guy had some pipe and a slip collar. So he was able to bend the legs and now I have adjustable legs.
