I am looking for 2 collapsible, 6 to 7 feet tall tent poles for holding my tarp up. Anybody has some or knows where to buy?

Thanks!

Kelty makes 2 very nice tarp poles, one 78", the other adjustable from 80 to 99".
Various online retailers carry them

I have 3 of these exact same ones that I use for setting up my GHETTO AWNING (http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showpost.php?p=402548&postcount=20). They are great, considering what they cost, and I've been using them for about 2 years.

I picked a set from a guy in Texas on Ebay. He seems to have some posted regularly. Military surplus and they're stout:
