I got lighter poles, took the shock cord out and replaced with thin 1.18mm rope with only 1 foot of bungee. Now I want to replaced the BIG heavy clips, any suggestions? Where can you purchase the little clips like they one on the Big Agnes tents? If I can find these perhaps I can remove one section of pole? There are 10 of them (clips) to replace and that should save another few ounces. The original tent weights 2 lbs 11.8 oz and the poles now weight 10 ozs, So I am at 3# 6 oz. Oh and I got aluminum shepherds' hooks and I only use 4, 2 for side vents and 2 for the front vestibule. Also use the 1.18mm rope for the side vents. Goal to be about 3 lbs without any loss of comfort. This is a good size tent and it is so simple to put up and it is free standing. Any suggestions?
