I have the poles I want in mind, but I don't have any experience hiking with them. I am currently in the process of making my tarp shelter for the PCT which I will need poles for, but I have concerns: Will every-night use of anti-shock poles to set up a tarp wear out the shocks (I do understand I won't be using them every single night due to cowboy camping)? My instinct is to just go without shocks, but I don't want to not have them and then wish I had them on the PCT. Any suggestions or experiences?
