DIY Cuben Fiber Tarp Pole Mod

I have a ZPackz Cuben Fiber tarp w/doors that I wanted to install a pole mod on. After watching many videos of tarps with pole mods I saw one where the guy had used old carbon fiber arrow shafts to build his own. I went to a local archery shop and bought 4 shafts w/o the fletches. Cut a piece of a aluminum arrow shaft I had bought to make toggles with. Then epoxied one of the aluminum sleeves to the end of one of the arrow shafts. Allowing the other to slide in.
My complete tarp w/doors, all tie outs, mesh snake sleeves and CF stuff sack, 6 mini MSR groundhogs (I use a ZPacks eye glasses case to keep them in) and my pole mod come to 16.2 ozs. :-)

That's a better pole Mod then what bought, I may have to go that route as well. Thanks for sharing.
