Yes, but for less than $200 per pole??
from Tensa: "If your current trekking poles weigh 20oz (567g), the additional weight is only 2.9lbs (1320g)."
"only" 2.9lbs? I think it'd be more appropriate to say "A WHOPPPING" 2.9lbs
I watched Shug's video again last night and I actually already carry most of the items he mentions... I'll try out his method later this week, once it stops raining outside.
In the meantime: Thanks for the comments so far, and I welcome more ideas...
It's relative - the Tato stand from Dutchware is 24 lbsfrom Tensa: "If your current trekking poles weigh 20oz (567g), the additional weight is only 2.9lbs (1320g)."

But I'm with you.. I'd rather carry an extra 6-8 oz for a pad and sleep on the ground in the rare event I had to.
I've hung off dead trees without problems before.
I've also pushed over dead trees with my bare hands that had a 2-foot diameter. They were basically balancing on top of the earth.
... The dead tree i hung off was the one next to the one i pushed over. o_O
My sentiments, exactly. I think the lightest DIY stand I’ve seen was around 2lbs - and it might’ve only been for one pole. I can’t remember. I’ve spent $200 to lose some ounces, not to gain over 2lbs! Like TallPaul, I’d rather carry an Uberlite for backup, or make due with my foot pad and backpack...or keep walking.It's relative - the Tato stand from Dutchware is 24 lbs
