Received Leki Carbonlite poles for Christmas and now have two stupid questions that I can't help but ask?
1. On the leaf basket is a cut out circle or c shaped empty space that for the life of me, I cannot figure it's purpose. If I were to guess, it may be a slot for a guy line if the poles are used as a temporary support for a tarp. Anyone know why the baskets have this cutout?
2. When using the poles as porch mode supports, does the handle go down so the tip can slide through the D-ring or hole of the tarp? Or does the handle go up and the tip is pushed into the ground? (Personally, I have always been a handle up for wrapping the guy line around while the tip is pushed into the ground, but the poles where cheap so I didn't care if they got damaged).
Thanks for any input, as petty as these questions may be.
