The pole does not have end caps or shock cord to save weight and add to it's versatility. Since it is not shock corded, you can remove a section to save weight if you do not need a full 67 " (for instance if you are using it for a tarp).

In addition, the middle section joins very well with most trekking poles, (to create a snug fit, wrap duct tape around the trekking pole end pictured above) and you can utilize one or two sections as a trekking pole extender. The pole, is designed to be simple and versatile, to allow you to use it in multiple configurations, without having to purchase additional or supplementary poles.
