We have, and have had, a variety of tarp poles. Crude DIY stuff, heavy as hell two piece telescoping cheapies and Russian Doll no-shock-cord nesting sets.
Where weight and packed size is not an issue the Kelty adjustable tarp poles are hard to beat. But dang they went and got expensive - $35 for one adjustable tarp pole?

Those are awesome tarp poles, but I know I did not spend $70 for a pair.
Any alternatives for quality tarp poles folks have found and used?
Specifically sectional and shock corded poles, at least 7 or 8 feet tall when extended, and no more than 3-ish feet long when packed (the three section 8 foot tall Keltys are 28.5 inches long when collapsed). At the right price some of those criteria are negotiable.
Or, if anyone sees a helluva deal on two 8 foot adjustable Kelty poles, please let me know. Those are great tarp poles, just not $70 a pair great.
