Set Up Tents with Bamboo Poles
For the people who love to rough it, tents are essential. While it is easy to find numerous tents on the market, perhaps checking out the materials of the parts that comprise them would be a green duty we can all apply. Bamboo tent poles can be durable and ideal for people who want to move towards more eco-friendly efforts. NEMO equipment of Nashua is planning to unveil thin bamboo tents for a pair of lightweight tent models in 2009.
The plan is to bank on a bamboo variety called Tonkin cane, which is sometimes dubbed “steel bamboo” for its dense fibers and long sections between nodes. Working with an Alaskan fly rod maker, NEMO’s prototype poles — which I handled and flexed at a recent press meeting — click together like any typical tent pole and whisk into nylon sleeves to support a shelter that might be put to endure hurricane-force winds.
